A seller marked his article 80% above the cost price and
sold it after offering two successive discounts of 60% and 25% respectively. In the whole transaction the seller lost Rs. 575. Find the selling price of the article.Solution
Let the cost price of the article be Rs. x Therefore, marked price of the article = Rs. 1.8x Selling price of the article = 0.4 x 0.75 x 1.8x = Rs. 0.54x According to the question, (x - 0.54x) = 575 Or, 0.46x = 575 Or, x = 1250 Therefore, selling price of the article = 1250 - 575 = Rs. 675
