Question

In a shop advertising a cash discount of 10% over
and above a Summer Discount of 15%, a sales clerk
wrongly allowed a single discount of 25% to sell a
frock for 562.50. At what price should the frock
have been sold?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Rupees 750

Step-by-step explanation:

Summer Discount : 750 x (1 - 15/100) = 637.5 Rupees

Cash Discount : 637.5 x (1 - 10/100) = 573.75 Rupees

Original price = INR. n

25% = n x (1 - 25/100)

 

        (n x 75/100) = 562.5

n = INR 750.
