Solution
Given that, in normal days shopkeeper give 25% discount and during the off season, he offered 30% discount over and above the existing discount and the marked price of skirt = Rs. 1200.
⇒ For normal days:
Discount = `25/100 xx 1200`
= Rs. 300
∴ The skirt price will be = Rs. 1200 – Rs. 300
= Rs. 900
And now for off season:
30% discount over and above the existing discount will be there
⇒ Discount = `30/100 xx 900`
= Rs. 270
∴ Skirt price now will be = Rs. 900 – Rs. 270
= Rs. 630

Suppose, marked price of the item = 100 rupees
Therefore, for customer that item costs `square` - `square` = 90 rupees
Hence, when the discount is `square` then the selling price is `square` rupees.
Suppose when the discount is `square` rupees, the selling price is x rupees.
∴ `x/square=square/square`
∴ x = `(squarexxsquare)/square`
∴ x = `square`
∴ the customer will get the item for 153 rupees.
