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. $Rs.70.10$
• B. $Rs.72.20$
• C. `$Rs.72$
• D. $Rs.82.20$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $Rs.72.20$

As given in the question that a successive discount of $5$%, we get

Selling price after giving first discount

$=80-\frac{5}{100}\times 80=Rs.76$

Selling price after giving second discount

$=76-\frac{5}{100}\times 76=76-3.8=Rs.72.20$
