Question:

If an article is sold at successive discounts of 10% 25% and 15%, then how much much a customer has to pay for it if the marked price of the article is ₹400 ?

Options:

₹300

₹249.25

₹229.50

₹231.75

Correct Answer:

₹229.50

Explanation:

We have,

The marked price of the article = ₹400

Discounts = 10%, 25% and 15%

10% = \(\frac{1}{10}\)

10% = \(\frac{1}{4}\)

10% = \(\frac{3}{20}\)

Now according to the question,

Selling price = 400 × \(\frac{9}{10}\) × \(\frac{3}{4}\) × \(\frac{17}{20}\) = ₹229.50
