    A retailer sold an item for Rs. 1458 after giving two

    successive discounts of x% each. If the marked price of the item is Rs. 2700, find the value of x.
    A 10.5% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 18.5% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 26.5% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 35.5% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    2700 × (100 – x)% × (100 – x)% = 1458

    0.27 × (100 – x)² = 1458

    (100 – x)² = 5400

    100 – x = 73.5

    x = 26.5

    So, the value of ‘x’ is 26.5%
