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
