Question
An item is sold after giving two back-to-back discounts of
25% and 10%. If its selling price comes out to be Rs. 6,075, find out the original marked price.Solution
ATQ,
Let the marked price of the item be Rs. '100m'
Selling price = 0.75 × 0.9 × 100m = Rs. '67.5m'
So, 67.5m = 6,075
Or, m = 90
Therefore, marked price of item = 90 × 100 = Rs. 9,000
