A watch of MRP of ₹ 1600 is sold in ₹ 1224 after giving two successive discounts of 15% and x% respectively. Find value of x.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
There are two successive discounts of 15% and x%
ATQ,
1st discount ⇒ 1600 × 15% = Rs.240
S.P. after 1st discount = 1600 -240 = 1360.
Now the second discount will be on Rs.1360.
S.P. after second discount = Rs.1224 (given)
Second discount = 1360 - 1224 = Rs.136
Second discount % (x%) = \(\frac{136}{1360}\) x 100% = 10%
Therefore, x = 10%
