• A. Rs.24174.6
• B. Rs.24176.6
• C. Rs.23076.3
• D. Rs.23073.6

Answer 1

The correct option is D

Rs.23073.6

Catalog price or marked price is given as Rs. 24000
First he gave discount of 8%
Amount after 1st discount= 24000 - 8% of 24000
= 24000 - $\frac{8}{100}\times 24000$
= 24000 -1920
=22080
Successive discount of 5% is given
Amount after 2nd discount= 22080 - 5% of 22080
= 22080 - $\frac{5}{100}\times 22080$
= 22080 - 1104

= Rs.20976
So sale price after 2 discount is Rs 20976.

Final price which customer has to pay will be given by
Total amount = sale price + 10% of sale price
Total amount = 20976 + $\frac{10}{100}\times 20976$

= 20976 + 2097.6
= Rs.23073.6
