The marked price of an article is Rs 800. The retailer buys it for Rs 540 after getting two successive discounts. The first discount is 25%. What is the second discount?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. 10%.
Price after the first discount = 800 - (25% of 800) = Rs. 600
Let the second discount be x
Then, According to the question-
600 - x% of 600 = 540
(100 - x)/100 = 540/600
100 - x = 90.
x = 10%
