Question

A fan is listed at Rs. 1500 and a discount of 20% is offered on the list price. What additional discount must be offered to the customer to bring the net price to Rs. 1104.

• A. $8\%$
• B. $10\%$
• C. $12\%$
• D. $15\%$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $8\%$

M.P. $=Rs.1500$,
Discount $=20\%$
$\therefore$ S.P. $=80\%$ of $Rs.1500=\frac{80}{100}\times 1500=Rs.1200$
Final S.P. $=Rs.1104$
$\therefore$ Additional discount $=Rs.1200–Rs.1104=Rs.96$
$\therefore$ Additional discount rate $=\frac{96}{1200}\times 100=8\%$
