Question:

The marked price of a study table is ₹3,200. It will be offered for ₹2,448 after two successive discounts. If the first discount is 10%, the second discount is:

Options:

13%

10%

15%

18%

Correct Answer:

15%

Explanation:

Marked price of the article = 3200

Discounts = 10% and let second discount = x

Final selling price = 2448

so selling price of the article after first discount of 10% = 90% of 3200 = 2880

Amount of second discount = 2880 - 2448 = 432

Percentage of discount = 432 × \(\frac{100}{2880}\) = 15%
