Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : 16 Given : The marked price of the article = Rs.2400 The selling price of the article = Rs.1542.24 Three successive discounts are 15%,10% and x% Formula used : Selling price = Marked price - Discount Calculation : ⇒ 1542.24 = 2400 × (85/100) × (90/100) × (\( { {100-x} \over 100}\)) ⇒ 1542.24 = {1836 × (100 - x)}/100 ⇒ 154224 = 183600 - 1836x ⇒ 1836x = 29376 ⇒ x = 16 ∴ The value of 'x' is 16 |
