Question

In a sale, a company offer two successive discount of 30% and 20% on a suit. Find the selling price of suit if it's marked price is rupees 12500

Answer 1

Answer:

Rs.7000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

(1)MRP=12500

(2)first discount=30%

(3)second discount=20%

To find the S.P

S.P=MRP*(100-d%/100) (where d% is discount%)

Given are two successive discounts

So

S.P=MRP*(100-a%/100)*(100-b%/100)

Here a= first discount percent

b=second discount percent

Then

S.P=12500*(100-30/100)*(100-20/100)

S.P=12500*(70/100)*(80/100)

Simplifying and multiplying

S.P=125*7*8

S.P=Rs.7000
