An article is sold for ₹680 after two successive discounts of 20% and x% on its marked price. The marked price of the article is ₹1,000. What is the value of x?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
Marked price = 1000
Selling price after 20% discount = 80% of the marked price = 800
Now the final selling price given = 680
Discount = 800 - 680 = 120
Discount% = \(\frac{120 × 100}{800}\) = 15%
