Question
An article with cost price of Rs. 1800 is marked 44%
above its cost price and sold after two successive discounts of 20% and Rs. ‘X’ respectively such that it is sold at a profit of 14%. Find the value of ‘X’.Solution
Marked price of the article = 1800 × 1.44 = Rs. 2592 Selling price of the article after first discount = 2592 × (80/100) = Rs. 2073.6 Selling price of the article after second discount = 2073.6 × 1.14 = Rs. 2052 So, second discount = X = 2073.6 – 2052 = 21.6
