Rs 2,700

Rs2,800

- The shopkeeper provides two successive discounts: 15% followed by 35%.

- The given selling price after these discounts is Rs 1,547.

- To find the marked price (MP), let's backtrack using the formula:

\text{Selling Price} = \text{Marked Price} \times (1 - \text{First Discount}) \times (1 - \text{Second Discount})

- Insert values:

1547 = MP \times (1 - 0.15) \times (1 - 0.35)

1547 = MP \times 0.85 \times 0.65

1547 = MP \times 0.5525

MP = \frac{1547}{0.5525}

MP \approx 2800

- Option 4: Rs 2,800 is correct.
