      Question

      The marked price of the washing machine is 10% above its

      cost price. The seller offers two successive discounts of 5% and 10%, respectively. If he incurs a loss of Rs. 595, find the price (in rupees) at which he sold the washing machine.
      A Rs. 7225 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Rs. 5925 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Rs. 6525 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Rs. 9405 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the cost price = Rs. x
      Marked price = 110% of x = Rs. 1.10x

      According to the question,
      x - 1.10x × 95% × 90% = 595
      x - 1.10x × 0.95 × 0.90 = 595
      x - 0.9405x = 595
      0.0595x = 595 ⟹ x = 10000

      The required selling price = Rs. 10000 - 595 = Rs. 9405
