The price of the product was reduced by 10%, then the new price was reduced by another 5%.

The price of the product was reduced by 10%, then the new price was reduced by another 5%. After that, the cost of the goods became 171 manats. What is the original price of the item?

Having designated the initial price of the goods as C, we write an expression according to the terms of the price change:

D * (100% – 10%) / 100% * (100% – 5%) / 100% = 171.

Let’s simplify it, we get:

0.9 * 0.95 * C = 171,

Hence C = 171: 0.855 = 200 manats.
