Question:

Marked price of a computer is Rs 10000. Selling price of computer is Rs 7650. If two successive discounts of 15% and x% are given, then what is the value of x?

Options:

5%

15%

10%

20%

Correct Answer:

10%

Explanation:

Selling price = Marked price x discount%

 7650    = 10000 x $\frac{85}{100}$ x $\frac{100-x}{100}$ 

 7650    = (85)(100 - x)

100 - x = 90

      x    = 10%
