Question 87

A shopkeeper was selling all his items at 25% discount. During the off-season, he offered 30% discount over and above the existing discount. If Pragya bought a skirt which was marked for Rs 1200, how much did she pay for it?

Answer 1

Marked price of the skirt = Rs. 1200
During normal season discount @ 25 $\%=\frac{25}{100}\times 1200=25\times 12=Rs.300$
Price of the skirt after discount = Rs. 1200 - Rs. 300 = Rs. 900
In off season, the shopkeeper also offer discount @ 30 $\%$ = $\frac{30}{100}\times 900=Rs.270$
Price of skirt after 30 $\%$ discount = Rs. 900 - Rs. 270 = Rs. 630
So, Rs. 630 paid by Pragya for the skirt.
