Question 131

Seema bought a mobile at a discount of 20%. Had she received a discount of 25%, she could have saved additional ₹1000. How much did she pay for the mobile ?

Solution

Let the MRP of the mobile be Rs.100x
Discount = 20% of Rs.100x = Rs.20x
Selling Price = Rs.100x - Rs.20x = Rs.80x
If the discount is 25%, then Selling Price = 75% of Rs.100x = Rs.75x
Given, Rs.80x - Rs.75x = Rs.1000
5x = 1000
x = 200
Then, Amount which Seema paid = Rs.80x = Rs.80*200 = Rs.16000.
