The marked price of a jacket is ₹3,000. A shop offers a 10% discount, but during a sale, they offer an additional 5% discount on the already discounted price. What is the final price of the jacket after both discounts?

Correct option is D

Given:

Marked price of the jacket = ₹3,000

First discount = 10%

Second discount = 5% (on the already discounted price)

Formula Used:
The formula for successive discounts is:

Final Price =$$\text{Marked Price} \times (1 - \text{First Discount}) \times (1 - \text{Second Discount})$$​

Solution:

First Discount:
10% of ₹3,000 is:

300$$0 \times \frac{10}{100} = ₹3$$​00

After applying the first discount, the price becomes:

3000 - 300 = ₹2,700

Second Discount:
5% of ₹2,700 is:

270$$0 \times \frac{5}{100}$$​= ₹135

After applying the second discount, the final price becomes:

2700 - 135 = ₹2,565

So, the final price of the jacket is ₹2,565.
