Question:

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?

Options:

15

15.5

12.5

16

Correct Answer:

15

Explanation:

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%
