Question
A trader allows two successive discounts of 30% and 15% on selling an article. If he gets Rs. 476 for that article, find its marked price = ?
Answer: Option D
$$\eqalign{
& {\text{Let, Marked price = Rs}}{\text{. }}x \cr
& \therefore x \times \frac{{70}}{{100}} \times \frac{{85}}{{100}} = 476 \cr
& \Rightarrow x = 476 \times \frac{{100}}{{70}} \times \frac{{100}}{{85}} \cr
& \Rightarrow x = {\text{Rs}}{\text{. }}800 \cr} $$
