The marked price of an article is ₹300. It is sold for 177.84 after giving three successive discounts of 20%, x % and 5%. What is the value of x?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 22
According to the question
M.P * (4/5) * (100 - x)/100 * (19/20) = S. P
300 * (4/5) * (100 - x)/100 * (19/20) = 177.84
100 - x = 78
x = 100 - 78 = 22%
