The marked price of a cap is ₹2,000. Two successive discounts of 15% and x% are given. If the selling price is ₹1,275, then what is the value of x ?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The marked price of the article = 2000
Two successive discounts of 15% and x% are given
So, the selling price of the article after first discount of 15% = 85% of the MP
SP1 = 85% of the 2000 = 1700
Final selling price = 1,275
Second discount = 1700 - 1275 = 425
Discount% = 425 × \(\frac{100}{1700}\) = 25%
