Question

Find the selling price of an article, if a shopkeeper allows two successive discount of $5\%$ each on the marked price of Rs. $80$

• A. Rs $61.70$
• B. Rs $67.30$
• C. Rs $72.20$
• D. Rs $77.10$

Answer 1

The correct option is C Rs $72.20$

Given, M.P$=$ Rs. $80$

Two successive Discount each $=5\%$

$\therefore$ S.P after first discount$=80-5\%$ of $80$

$\Rightarrow 80-\frac{5}{100}\times 80$

$\Rightarrow 80-4=$ Rs. $76$

Selling price after second discount $=76-5\%$ of $76$

$\Rightarrow 76-\frac{5}{100}\times 76$

$\Rightarrow 76-3.80=$ Rs. $72.20$
