Question

A trader allows successive discounts of $15\%$ and $10\%$ on the marked price of an article. If the marked price is $Rs.100$, what would be the selling price?

• A. $Rs.76.50$
• B. $Rs.75$
• C. $Rs.80$
• D. $Rs.77$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $Rs.76.50$

Marked Price $=Rs100$

Price after $15\%$ discount:

$15\%$ Discount $=0.15x100=Rs15$

Price after discount $=100-15=Rs85$

Price after $10\%$ discount:

$10\%$ Discount $=0.10x85=Rs8.50$

Price after discount $=85-8.5=Rs76.50$

Hence, the selling price is $Rs76.50$
