Question:

A shopkeeper announces a discount of 48% and then by a further discount of 15%. What is the final sale price (in Rs. to the nearest rupee) of a sofa costing Rs 29600 and what is the discount (in Rs) ?

Options:

13280, 16517

13083, 16517

16517, 13083

16517, 13280 

Correct Answer:

13083, 16517

Explanation:

MP of the sofa = 29600 

48% =  \(\frac{12}{25}\)

15% = \(\frac{3}{20}\)

ATQ,

Selling price of sofa = 29600  × \(\frac{13}{25}\) × \(\frac{17}{20}\) = 13083

Discount on sofa = 29600 - 13083 = 16517
