Question

A shopkeeper gave an additional 40% discount on thereduced price after giving 25% standard concession onthatitem, if a person boughtthatitem for `1260, whatisthe original price ofthe item?

Answer 1

let the original price be x
25% discount means, x - (25/100)x = 0.75x
on this, there's 40% discount,
so
0.75x - (40/100)*0.75x
this amount =1260
so, you just need to solve for x in
0.75x - (40/100)*0.75x = 1260
