Two successive discounts of 20% and 25% on the marked price of an article are equal to a single discount of ₹ 250. If the marked price of the article is 25% above the cost price, the cost price (in ₹) of the article is: |
450 600 550 500 |
500 |
If two discounts of x and y be given then the successive discount will be equal to = X + y - \(\frac{x × y}{100}\) Two successive discounts of 20% and 25% = 20 + 25 - \(\frac{20 × 25}{100}\) = 40% If 40% of MP = ₹ 250 Then, 100% of MP = 625 It is given that the marked price is 25% more than the cost price 125% of CP = 625 100% of CP = 500 |
