Ques - An item was sold after giving two successive discount of 20% and 10% respectively. If the item was sold for Rs. 468. The marked price of that item is :
(a) Rs. 600
(b) Rs. 500
(c) Rs. 575
(d) Rs. 650
Solution -
Let,
MP = x
After 20% discount,
SP = x × (80/100)
SP = x × 0.8
After another 10% discount,
SP = X × 0.8 × 0.9
468 = X × 0.8 × 0.9
468 = 0.72x
x = 468/0.72
x = 650
Therefore,
The MP is 650.
Hence,
The correct naswer is option (d) Rs. 650.
