A person paid 17000 Rs for a motor car after a single discount of 15%. If he is given successive discounts of 5% and 10% then how much he would pay?
[A]17000 Rs.
[B]17010 Rs.
[C]17100 Rs.
[D]18900 Rs.
17010 Rs.
Let ‘x’ be the marked price
Single discount = 15%
=> 100 – 15 = 85
85% of x = 17000
$latex \therefore x = \frac{17000}{85}\times 100 = 20000 Rs.&s=1$
∴ Required SP =
$latex = 20000\times \frac{95}{100}\times \frac{90}{100}&s=1$
$latex = 180\times 95 = 17100 Rs. &s=1$
Hence option [C] is correct answer.
