Question
Article βPβ, if sold at a profit of 30% earns a
profit of Rs. 510. If article βPβ is marked 60% above its cost price and then sold after offering two successive discounts of 15% and Rs. x, respectively then what would be the value of βxβ such that there is neither profit nor loss in the transaction?Solution
