After applying 2 successive discounts of 20% and 10%, an article was sold for Rs. 954 . Find the marked price of the article.

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

1. Let the marked price of the article be MP . 2. Applying successive discounts of 20% and 10% gives the relation: Selling Price (SP) = MP \times (1 - \frac{20}{100}) \times (1 - \frac{10}{100}) 954 = MP \times 0.80 \times 0.90 954 = MP \times 0.72 3. Solve for MP : MP = \frac{954}{0.72} = \frac{95400}{72} = Rs. 1, 325
