Question
If a person purchases a shirt, he gets 6% discount. However, if he purchases two shirts, he gets 5% on the first and 8% on the second. If the price paid by the person for two shirts is Rs. 925, then what will be the marked price of each shirts ?
Answer: Option A
Let marked price = 100x, then by statement
95x + 92x → selling price of both
$$\eqalign{
& \Rightarrow 187x \to 925 \cr
& \Rightarrow x \to \frac{{925}}{{187}} = 4.94 \cr
& {\text{Marked price }} \cr
& {\text{ = 4}}{\text{.94}} \times {\text{100 }} \cr
& {\text{ = Rs}}{\text{. 494}} \cr} $$
