Question:

A household appliances company offers two successive discounts of 20% and 35% on the sale of a food processor. What is the final sale price (in Rs, to the nearest rupee) of a food processor costing Rs. 4580 ?

Options:

2519

2977

2382

3664

Correct Answer:

2382

Explanation:

Two successive discounts of 20% and 35% =  X + y - \(\frac{x × y}{100}\)

                                                              =  20 + 35 - \(\frac{20 × 35}{100}\) = 48%

Now the selling price = 100 - 48 = 52% of the marked price

Selling price = 52% of 4580 = 2382
