​The marked price of an article is Rs.7.200. Two successive discounts of 9% and 15% are offered. Find the selling price of the article.

Correct option is B

​Given:

Marked price of the article = Rs. 7200

First discount = 9%

Second discount = 15%

Formula Used: ​

Selling price = Marked price $$\times \left( 1- \frac{discount \%}{100} \right)$$ 

Solution: ​

Substituting the values in the formula

Selling price = $$7200 \times \left(1 - \frac{9}{100} \right)\times \left(1 - \frac{15}{100} \right)$$ 

= $$7200 \times \frac{ 91}{100}\times \frac{85}{100}$$ 

= ₹5569.2

Selling Price=Marked Price×(1−First Discount)×(1−Second Discount)\text{Selling Price} = \text{Marked Price} \times (1 - \text{First Discount}) \times (1 - \text{Second Discount})
