- Reema saw a shop offering successive discounts. These were 50% followed by 30%.

- The MRP of the gift was Rs 1,700.

- First, calculate the 50% discount: Rs 1,700 x 50% = Rs 850.

- This means the price after the first discount is Rs 850.

- Next, calculate the 30% discount on Rs 850: Rs 850 x 30% = Rs 255.

- Subtract the Rs 255 from Rs 850 to find the final price: Rs 850 - Rs 255 = Rs 595.

- Thus, Reema paid Rs 595 for the gift.

Option 4 - Rs 595
