Question

A shopkeeper allows two successive discounts of 10% and 15% on his articles. If he gets Rs. 459 for an article, find it, marked price.

• A. Rs. $120$
  
• B. Rs. $300$
  
• C. Rs. $600$
• D. Rs. $800$
  

Answer 1

The correct option is C Rs. $600$

Let the Marked price be $x$
After $10$ % discount, the Selling price becomes $0.9x$
After further $15$ % discount, the selling price becomes $0.85\times 0.9x=0.765x$
Given, SP $=Rs459$
$=>0.765=Rs459$
$=>x=Rs600$
Hence, marked price is $Rs600$
