    As per the given in question ,
    SP of scooter = ₹ 36,000 , discount = 7%

    Discount on ₹ 36000 =
    36000 × 7
    		 = ₹ 2520
    100

    Discount on first ₹ 20,000 =
    20,000 × 8
    		 = ₹ 1600
    100

    Discount on next ₹ 10,000 =
    10,000 × 5
    		 = ₹ 500
    100

    ∴  Discount on remaining ₹ 6,000 = 2520 – (1600 + 500) = ₹ 420

    Correct Option: C

    As per the given in question ,
    SP of scooter = ₹ 36,000 , discount = 7%

    Discount on ₹ 36000 =
    36000 × 7
    		 = ₹ 2520
    100

    Discount on first ₹ 20,000 =
    20,000 × 8
    		 = ₹ 1600
    100

    Discount on next ₹ 10,000 =
    10,000 × 5
    		 = ₹ 500
    100

    ∴  Discount on remaining ₹ 6,000 = 2520 – (1600 + 500) = ₹ 420
    ∴  Required percent =
    420 × 100
    		 = 7%
    6000

  1. A trader marked the price of his commodity so as to include a profit of 25%. He allowed discount of 16% on the marked price. His actual profit was :








  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    Here , profit = 25%
    Let the C.P. be ₹ 100
    ∴  Marked price = ₹ 125
    S.P. = ( 100 - 16 )% of 125

    S.P. = 84% of 125 =
    84 × 125
    		 = ₹ 105
    100

    Correct Option: A

    Here , profit = 25%
    Let the C.P. be ₹ 100
    ∴  Marked price = ₹ 125
    S.P. = ( 100 - 16 )% of 125

    S.P. = 84% of 125 =
    84 × 125
    		 = ₹ 105
    100

    ∴  Profit = ₹ (105 – 100) = ₹ 5
    ∴ Profit percent =
    5
    		 × 100 = 5%
    100

    Let the marked price of the article be y.
    For successive discounts of 30% and 20% ,

    Single Equivalent discount = (50 – 6)% = 44%
    ⇒  (100 – 44)% of y = 2240
