Allowing 20% and 15% successive discounts the selling price of an article becomes Rs 3060; the marked price will be

(A) Rs 5000 (B) Rs 4500 (C) Rs 4000 (D) Rs 4400

• net discount=20+15-(20*15)/100=32%
  
  let mp=x
  then,
  x-0.32x=3060
  0.68x=3060
  x=3060/0.68=4500
  
  thus mark price of the article is Rs 4500

• Let x be the amount before allowing 15% discount so
  x - (15x÷100) = 3060
  85x÷100 = 3060
  x = 306000 ÷ 85
  x = 3600
  
  
  Now let y be the amount before allowing 20% discount
  So,
  y - (20y÷100) = 3600
  80y÷100 = 3600
  y = 360000 ÷ 80
  y = 4500
  So , 4500 is the answer
