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 ?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
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
