Article ‘P’, if sold at a profit of 15% earns a
profit of Rs. 405. If article ‘P’ is marked 70% above its cost price and then sold after offering two successive discounts of 25% and Rs. x, respectively then what would be the value of ‘x’ such that there is neither profit nor loss in the transaction?Solution
