Question

The marked price of a ceiling fan is ₹ 1250 and the shopkeeper allows a discount of $6\%$ on it. Find the selling price of the fan.

• A. ₹ 1170
• B. ₹ 1185
• C. ₹ 1165
• D. ₹ 1175

Answer 1

The correct option is D ₹ 1175

Marked price = ₹1250
and discount = $6\%$

Discount = $6\%$ of Marked Price
$=6\%$ of ₹1250
$=₹\{1250\times \left(\frac{6}{100}\right)\}=25\times 3=₹75$

$\text{Selling price}=\left(\text{Marked Price}\right)-\left(\text{discount}\right)$
= $₹(1250-75)$
= $₹1175$
Hence, the selling price of the fan is ₹ 1175.
