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
