Question

The marked price of a water cooler is Rs 4650. The shopkeeper offers an off-season discount of 18% on it. Find its selling price.

Answer 1

Marked price = $\mathrm{Rs}4650$ and discount = 18%
Discount = 18% of marked price
$=18\%ofRs4650$
$$\begin{gathered} =Rs\left(4650\times \frac{18}{100}\right) \\ =Rs837 \end{gathered}$$
Selling price = marked price − discount
$$\begin{gathered} =\mathrm{Rs}(4650-837) \\ =\mathrm{Rs}3813 \end{gathered}$$

Therefore, the selling price of the cooler is $\mathrm{Rs}3813$.
