Practicing Success
Three shopkeepers A, B and C marked an identical article at ₹4820. A, B and C sold their article on successive discounts of 20% and 20%; 25% and 15%; 30% and 10% respectively. Which shopkeeper gives the maximum discount and how much (in Rs)? |
C, 1780 C, 1783.40 B, 1800 A, 1735.20 |
C, 1783.40 |
Marked price of article = Rs.4820 Total discount when a% and b% are successive discounts = (a + b) - \(\frac{ab}{100}\) Total discount for A = (20 + 20) - \(\frac{400}{100}\) = 36% Discount for A = 4820 × \(\frac{36}{100}\) = Rs.1735.2 Total discount for B = (15 + 25) - \(\frac{375}{100}\) = 36.25% Discount for B = 4820 × \(\frac{36.25}{100}\) = Rs.1747.25 Total discount for C = (30 + 10) - \(\frac{300}{100}\) = 37% Discount for C = 4820 × \(\frac{37}{100}\) = Rs.1783.4 |
