Correct Answer: Rs. 800
Solution : Let the marked price be Rs. $x$. For two successive discounts of 30% and 15%, Selling price = $\frac{100-\text{Discount}_1\%}{100}× \frac{100-\text{Discount}_2\%}{100}×$ Marked price $⇒x×\frac{100-30}{100}×\frac{100-15}{100}=476$ $⇒x×\frac{70}{100}×\frac{85}{100}=476$ $⇒x=476×\frac{100}{70}×\frac{100}{85}$ $\therefore x=800$ Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 800.
