Given:

1st cash discount = Rs. 85

2nd Discount = 10%

3rd Discount = 2%

The marked price of fan = Rs. 1,285

Formula used:

The marked price of the item = cost price - discount price 

selling price of item = New marked price after discount.

Calculations:

Price of the Fan after 1st discount = Rs. 1285 - Rs. 85 

 Rs. 1200

The new marked price of the fan is = Rs. 1200.

Price of the Fan after 2nd discount = 1200 - 10% of 1200

⇒ 1200 - 120

 Rs. 1080.

The new marked price of the fan is = Rs. 1080

Price of the Fan after 3rd discount = 1080 - 2% of 1080

⇒ 1080 - 21.6

⇒ Rs. 1058.4

∴ The selling price of the fan is Rs. 1,058.4.
