A shopkeeper offers successive discounts of 18% and 15%, and sells the item for Rs. 34,850. What is its marked price (in ₹)?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. 50,000.

Single discount = -18 - 15 + 270/100 = -33 + 2.7 = -30.3

MP × 69.710069.7\over100 = 34850

MP = 500 × 100 = 50,000
