Question 71

There was 25% off on shirt. A lady bought that shirt and got an additional 20% discount for paying in cash and further 10% discount for being a loyal customer. She paid ₹324. What was the price tag (in ₹) on the shirt ?

Solution

Let the original price be P 
Now when 25% off is given
so the price becomes : (1-0.25) P = 0.75P
Now when additional 20% discount is given , so the cost will reduce to :(1-0.2)(0.75P = 0.6P
Now when further 10% discount will be applied
The price will further reduce to : (1-0.1) 0.6P = 0.54P
Now we get 0.54P =324
Therefore P = 600
