The marked price of an article is Rs.250. After allowing two successive discounts of 20% and x% on the marked price, it is sold for Rs.185.60. What is the value of x?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. 7.2%
| Application |
|
Given MP = 250 So, Total discount = (250 - 185.60)/250 × 100 = 25.76% |
|
Cummulative discount for 2 successive discounts of a% = a + a + (a × a)/100 Here we go through the option: Option4: - 20 - 7.2 + 144/100 = -27.2 + 1.44 = 25.76 |
