Question

Successive discounts of $12\frac{1}{2}\%$ and $7\frac{1}{2}\%$ are given on the marked price of the table. If the customer pays Rs 2590, then what is the marked price of the table?

• A. Rs 3,108
• B. Rs 3,148
• C. Rs 3,200
• D. Rs 3,600

Answer 1

The correct option is C Rs 3,200

b'Marked price $=$ Rs 100. Price after 1st discount $=Rs87\frac{1}{2}$
Price after 2nd discount $=Rs92\frac{1}{2}\%$ of $87\frac{1}{2}$
But customer pays Rs 2590.
$\therefore M.P.=(2590\times 100)÷\left(92\frac{1}{2}\%of87\frac{1}{2}\right)=Rs3,200$.'
