A television set was sold for Rs. 5,760 after giving successive discounts of 10% and 20% respectively. What was the Marked Price?

Selling price of TV = 5,760

They have given successive discounts of 10% and 20% respectively


Selling price given is after the 2 discounts as mentioned.


Let x be the marked price of TV


So, selling price after 10% discount = x - x = 0.9x


selling price after 20% discount = 0.9x - = 0.9x (1-0.2)
