Question

    An electronic item is sold after two successive

    discounts of 25% and 10%. If the final selling price is Rs. 6,075, then what was the original marked price of the item?
    A Rs.9000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs.9527 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs.8544 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs.7556 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let the marked price of item be Rs. '100m'

    Selling price of item = 0.75 × 0.9 × 100m = Rs. '67.5m'

    So, 67.5m = 6,075

    Or, m = 90

    Therefore, marked price of item = 90 × 100 = Rs. 9,000
