The marked price of a shirt is ₹2,150. Let two successive discounts offered by the store be 10% and ‘x%’. If the selling price of the shirt is ₹1,505, then calculate the value of ‘x’. [Give your answer correct to two decimal places.]
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
Marked price = 2150
Selling price = 1505
First discount = 10%
Second discount = x%
Now SP after 10% discount = 90% of the marked price
90% of 2150 = 1935
Final SP = 1505
Discount given = 1935 - 1505 = 430
Discount % = 430 × \(\frac{100}{1935}\) = 22.22%
