A blanket is sold for Rs.680 at the discounts of 15% and 20%. Find the printed price of the blanket.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 4 i.e Rs.1000.

Understanding/Application

Let the marked price be x.

Price after 15% discount = 85x/100

Selling price after 20% of discount = (80/100) × (85x/100)

The selling price of the blanket = 680

(80/100) × (85x/100) = 680

x = 1000

Marked price of the blanket = Rs. 1000
