After successive discounts of 12% and 5% an article was sold for Rs. 209. What was the original price of the article?

1Rs. 226
2Rs. 250
3Rs. 252
4Rs. 269

Answer:- 4

Explanation:-

Solution:

Let the original price be Rs. x.
Then,
95% of 88% of x = 209

\begin{aligned} \Rightarrow x = (\frac{209 \times 100 \times 100}{95 \times 88}) \\ = 250. \\ = Rs . 250. \end{aligned}

$\eqalign{ & \Rightarrow x = \left( {\frac{{209 \times 100 \times 100}}{{95 \times 88}}} \right) \cr & \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = 250. \cr & = {\text{Rs}}{\text{. }}250. \cr}$
