Answer 2

Answer:

The selling price of the article after the 15% discount is Rs.34000.

Given:

An article was sold for rupees 26000 at a discount of 35%  

To find:

The selling price if the discount was 15%.

Solution:

Article was sold at 35% discount, hence 65% of original price

Let the cost price of the article be $x$

65% $\times$ $x$ = 26000

x = Rs.40000

The selling price if the discount was 15% is

15% $\times$ 40000 = 6000

Hence,

= cost price - Discount

= 40000 – 6000 = Rs.34000

Result:

The selling price of the article after discount is Rs.34000.
