Question 72
The marked price of an article is ₹5320. It is subject to two successive discounts, the first being 15%, and the second at a rate of 20% of the first. What is the selling price (to nearest ₹) of the article?
Solution
The marked price of an article is ₹5320.
First discount = 15%
Price of the article after 15% discount = $$\frac{85}{100}\times5320$$ = ₹4522
Second discount = 20% of 15% = $$\frac{20}{100}\times$$15% = 3%
Selling price of the article after 3% discount = $$\frac{97}{100}\times4522$$ = ₹4386.34
= ₹4386 (approximately)
Hence, the correct answer is Option D
