Question

An item marked at ₹840 is sold at a discount of 15%. Find the selling price of the item.

• A. ₹714
• B. ₹814
• C. ₹750
• D. ₹914

Answer 1

The correct option is A

₹714

We know that

$\frac{\text{Discount}}{\text{Marked Price}}\times 100=\text{Discount}\%$

$\Rightarrow \text{Discount}=\frac{15}{100}\times 840$

$\Rightarrow \text{Discount}=₹126$

Selling Price = Marked Price - Discount
= ₹(840 - 126) = ₹714
