Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 17.5.
Given:
The marked price open article is ₹ 450.
It is sold for ₹ 267.30, after offering three successive discounts of 10%, x%, and 20%
Calculations:
Selling price when discount = 10%
Selling price = 450 × 90/100 = 405
After applying 20% discount we get
New selling price = 405 × 80/100 = 324
Final Selling price is 267.30 when discount is x%
⇒ 267.30 = 324 × (100 - x)%
⇒ 5670 = 324x
⇒ x = 17.5
