Question:

Marked price of a chair is Rs.1600. After giving two successive discounts of 10 percent and x percent, the chair is sold for Rs.1368. What is the value of x?

Options:

7

4

5

8

Correct Answer:

5

Explanation:

Marked price = 1600

First discount = 10%

SP after first discount = 90% of 1600 = 1440

Now the given SP after second discount x = 1368

Discount = x = 1440 - 1368 = 72

Discount % = \(\frac{72 × 100}{1440}\) = 5%
