      Solution

      Let the cost price of the dress be Rs. β€˜z’. So, the original marked price of the dress = Rs. 2z Original selling price of the dress = 2z Γ— 0.85 Γ— 0.9 = Rs. 1.53z New marked price of the dress = Rs. 1.8z New selling price of the dress = 1.8z Γ— 0.9 = Rs. 1.62z According to the question: 1.62z – 1.53z = 450 0.09z = 450 z = 450 / 0.09 = 5000 So, the cost price of the dress = Rs 5000
