An item was sold after giving two successive discount of 20% and 10% respectively. If the item was sold for Rs. 468. The marked price of that item is :

1. 600
2. 500
3. 575
4. 650

Correct Option: D

Let the price be y , then
y x 0.8 x 0.9 = 468
∴ x=650, therefore marked price = Rs. 650

Alternatively : 650 X 0.8 X 0.2 = 468
Hence option (d) is correct
