Question

The price of shoes marked at ₹ 500 is sold at a discount of 10 percent. The selling price of the shoes is .

• A. ₹ 490
• B. ₹ 400
• C. ₹ 475
• D. ₹ 450

Answer 1

The correct option is D ₹ 450

Given that,
Marked price of shoes = ₹ 500
Rate of Discount = 10%
$\therefore$ Amount of discount $=\frac{M.P\times Rateofdiscount}{100}$
$=\frac{500\times 10}{100}$
= ₹ 50
So, the amount of discount is ₹ 50.
$\therefore$ Selling price = M.P - Discount
= ₹ (500 - 50)
= ₹ 450
Hence, the selling price of the shoes is ₹ 450.
