The list price of an electric fan is Rs. 300. If two successive discounts of 15% and 10% are
allowed, its selling price would be
-
- Rs. 227.50
- Rs. 225
- Rs. 230
- Rs. 229.50
Correct Option: D
Single equivalent discount for 15% and 10%. = | 15 + 10 − | % | |||
100 |
Single equivalent discount for 15% and 10%. = (25 – 1.5) % = 23.5 %
∴ Required S.P = (100 – 23.5)% of 300
∴ Required S.P = | = Rs. 229.5 | |
100 |
2nd Method to solve this question :
According to given question.
Here, M.P. = Rs. 300, S.P. = ?
D1 = 15%, D2 = 10%
S.P. = M.P. | ||||||
100 | 100 |
S.P = 300 | ||||||
100 | 100 |
S.P = 300 × | × | = 229.50 | ||
100 | 100 |
