The marked price of an article is 740. After two successive discount of 15% and x %, it is sold for 566.10. What is the value of x?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 4 i.e 10

Marked Price(M.P.) = Rs 740

Selling price(S.P.) after two successive discounts = Rs. 566.1

⇒ 740 - 0.15 × 740 = 629

Now,

⇒ 629 - (x/100) × 629 = 566.1

⇒ x = 10%
