      Question

      A shopkeeper sold an article after offering two

      successive discounts of 17% and 15%, respectively. The marked price of the article is Rs. 1200. If the cost price of the article is 1000, then find the profit/loss percentage in the whole transaction.
      A 10.34% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 11.34% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 12.34% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 15.34% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Marked price of the article = Rs. 1200 Selling price of the article = 1200 × 0.83 × 0.85 = Rs. 846.6 Cost price of the article = Rs. 846.6 So, loss percentage = [(1000 – 846.6)/1000] × 100 = 15.34%
