The marked price of watch was 820 Rs. A man bought the watch for 570.72 Rs. after getting two successive discounts, of which the first was 20%, then the second discount was :
[A]11%
[B]13%
[C]15%
[D]18%
13%
Total discount = (820 – 570.72) = 249.28 Rs.
First discount
∴ Second discount = (249.28 – 164) = 85.28 Rs.
Price of the article after first discount = (820 – 164) = 656 Rs.
If the second discount be x%, then x% of 656 = 85.28
Hence option [B] is correct answer.
