A television set listed at Rs. 3200 is sold to retailer at successive discounts of 25% and 15%. The retailer derives a profit of 20% of his cost price after allowing 10% discount to the customer. At what price did he list the television set?

• 2720 Rs.
  Retailer's cost price=3200*[(100-25)/100][(100-150)/100]=2040
  price at profit of 20% for retailer=2040*120/100=2448
  Listing price of retailer after allowing 10% discount=2448/(90/100)=2720

  price at profit of 20% for retailer=2040*120/100=2448
  
  now, list price of tv=x
  (100-10)% of x=2448
  (90/100)*x=2448
  x=2448*100/90=2720
