Question

A crockery set was marked at ₹500. A discount of 20% was being provided. Due to a defective piece, an additional discount of 10% was allowed on the marked price. What is the selling price?

• A. ₹350
• B. ₹250
• C. ₹150
• D. ₹200

Answer 1

The correct option is A ₹350

Marked price = ₹500
Total discount allowed = 20% + 10% = 30%

$\therefore$ Selling price = marked price - discount
$\Rightarrow$ Selling price = ₹500 - (30% of ₹500)

$\Rightarrow$ Selling price = ₹500 - $\left(\frac{30}{100}\right)\times ₹500$

$\Rightarrow$ Selling price = ₹500 - ₹150
$\Rightarrow$ Selling price = ₹350
