Question

The marked price of a t-shrit is Rs. $2000$. A shopkeeper offers $20\%$ discount on this t-shirt and then again offers $40\%$ discount on the new price. How much will you have to pay, finally?

• A. $560$
• B. $660$
• C. $860$
• D. $960$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $960$

Total discount of $20\%$ and $40\%=$ $20+40-\frac{800}{100}=52$ $\%$
Discount $=52\%$ of marked price
$=\frac{52}{100}\times 2000=1040$
Selling price $=$ marked price $-$ discount
$=2000-1040=$ Rs. $960$
