Answer» Price of furniture = 19285.71 Rs Step-by-step explanation: Let the price of furniture = x The price after discount of 10% = x - 10% of x = x - x/10 = 9x / 10 The price after further discount of 20% = 9x / 10 - 20% of 9x / 10 = 9x / 10 - 18x/100 = 90x/100 - 18x / 100 = 72x / 100 The price after further 30% discount = 72x / 100 - 30% of 72x/100 = 720x/1000 - 3(72x)/1000 = 720x/1000 - 216x/1000 = 504x/1000 According to given condition 504x/1000 = 9720 504x = 9720(1000) 504x = 9720000 x = 9720000 / 504 x = 19,285.714285 Rs Thus Price of furniture = 19285.71 Rs |
