Question

Amit went to shop to buy a bat on which discount of first 30% and then 10% was given. The marked price of bat was ₹ 2000.
Calculate the net discount percent that Amit got on this bat.

• A. 21%
• B. 27%
• C. 33%
• D. 37%

Answer 1

The correct option is D 37%

Given
The marked price of item = ₹ 2000.
Percentage of first discount = 30%

First discount = $\frac{30}{100}\times 2000$
First discount = ₹ 600

Price after first discount = ₹ (2000 - 600)
Price after first discount = ₹ 1400

Percentage of second discount = 10%

Second discount = $\frac{10}{100}\times 1400$
Second discount = ₹ 140

Price after second discount = ₹ (1400 - 140)
Price after second discount = ₹ 1260

So,
Net discount given = ₹ (2000 - 1260)
Net discount given = ₹ 740

Now,
Discount percent = $\frac{Markedprice-Sellingprice}{Markedprice}\times 100$
Discount percent = $\frac{2000-1260}{2000}\times 100=37\%$
