If a man purchases an article marked at Rs. 1200 with two successive discounts of 10% and 5%, what is the final price?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Given:

Marked Price = 1200

First Discount = 10%

Second Discount = 5%

Formula:

Selling Price = Marked Price × (100 − a)% / 100 × (100 − b)% / 100

Selling Price = 1200 × 90 / 100 × 95 / 100 = 1026
