Question

Garima purchased a briefcase with an additional $10\%$ discount on the reduced price after deducting $20\%$ on the labeled price. If the labelled price was $\text{Rs.}1008$ at what price did she purchased the briefcase?

• A. $\text{Rs.}1080$
• B. $\text{Rs.}1008$
• C. $\text{Rs.}1000$
• D. $\text{Rs.}1120$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $\text{Rs.}1008$

Garima took two discount first is of $20\%$ and after that of $10\%$.

This can be mathematically converted as,

$\begin{array}{cc}C.P& =90\%\text{of}80\%\text{of}1400\\ & =\frac{90}{100}\times \frac{80}{100}\times 1400\\ & =\text{Rs.}1008\end{array}$

So, the price at which Garima purchased the briefcase is equal to $\text{Rs.}1008$.
