Solution

Marked Price $= R s 32, 000.$
Discount $= l s (\frac{20}{100} \times 32, 000) = R s 6, 400$
Selling Price $= R s (32, 000 - 6, 400) = R s 25, 600$
Discount after defect $= R s (\frac{10}{100} \times 25, 600) = R s 2, 560$
$∴$ Selling price $= R s (25, 600 - 2, 560) = R s 23, 040$
Ans: The final price of selling the laptop is $R s 23, 040$
