- The marked price of the cap is Rs 2,000.

- There are two successive discounts. The first discount is 15%, and the second one is unknown, represented by %.

- After these discounts, the selling price is Rs 1,275.

- Calculate the price after the first discount:

- First discount: 15% of Rs 2,000 = Rs 300

- Price after first discount = Rs 2,000 - Rs 300 = Rs 1,700

- Calculate the second discount:

- Let the second discount be D%.

- Price after second discount = (100 - D)% of Rs 1,700 = Rs 1,275

- Rs 1,275 = (1 - D/100) * Rs 1,700

- Solve for D:

- 1275/1700 = 1 - D/100

- D/100 = 1 - 1275/1700

- D = 1 - 0.75 = 0.25

- D = 25%

- Answer: 25%
