Question

The shopkeeper shows an item of Rs. 551.50. He says there is a discount of 10%. What is the approximate amount I should pay?

• A. 439
• B. 346
• C. 496
• D. 450

Answer 1

The correct option is C

496

Discount% = $\frac{Markedprice-Sellingprice}{Markedprice}\times 100$

Given, discount% is 10%

Marked price = Rs 551.50

Selling Price = Marked Price - discount% of marked price = Rs. 551.50 - $\frac{10}{100}$ x 551.50

= Rs. 551.50 - 55.15 = Rs. 495.85 ~ Rs. 496

Hence, the final paid amount is Rs. 496.
