The marked price of a bicycle is Rs.1500. The shopkeeper offers his customer two successive discounts of 10% and 6%. Find the final selling price of the bicycle?

Explanation

Given:

Marked price = Rs. 1500

Discounts: 10% and 6%

First discount (10%):

= 10% of 1500

= 0.1 × 1500

= Rs. 150

Price after 1st discount = 1500 - 150

= Rs. 1350

Second discount (6%):

= 6% of 1350

= 0.06 × 1350

= Rs. 81

Price after 2nd discount = 1350 - 81

= Rs. 1269
