Solution

If marked price of an article is Rs 1,200 and the discount is 12% then the selling price of the article is Rs 1,056.

Explanation:

Given, marked price of an article = Rs. 1200

Discount % = 12%

Discount = Discount % on marked price

= `12/100 xx 1200`

= 12 × 12

= Rs. 144

Selling price = Marked price – Discount selling price

= Rs. 1200 – Rs. 144

= Rs. 1056

Hence, Rs 1,056

After offering discount of 10% on marked price, a customer gets total discount of 17 rupees. To find the cost price for the customer, fill in the following boxes with appropriate numbers and complete the activity.

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.
