Marked Price of the Shirt=₹4000
Successive discounts =15%,10%,5%
Selling price=4000*(85/100)*(90/100)*(95/100)
=4000*0.85*0.9*0.95=₹2907.
Hence the right option is 6👈.

M.P-₹4000
15% of 4000
4000×15/100
=600
4000-600=₹3400
10% of 3400
3400×10/100
=340
3400-340=₹3060
5% of 3060
3060×5/100
=153
3060-153=₹2907.

First he offer 15% discount therefore 4000×0.15=600
4000-600=3400 then again he offer 10% discount on new price. means on 3400 therefore 3400×0.10=340
3400-340=3060 and again he offer 5% discount on new price i.e. on 3060 therefore 3060×0.05=153
3060-153=2907 so 2907 is the final price of tshirt or dress. Whatever it may be

15% discount = 100% - 15% = 85% = 0.85
15% discount of Rs.4000 = 0.85*4000 = Rs.3400

10% discount = 100% - 10% = 90% = 0.90
10% discount of Rs.3400 = 0.90*3400 = Rs.3060

5% discount = 100% - 5% = 95% = 0.95
5% discount of Rs.3060 = 0.95 * 3060 = Rs.2907

Answer = 6) 2907
