  1. A dealer buys a table listed at ₹ 1,500 and gets successive discounts of 20 % and 10 %. He spends ₹ 20 on transportation and sells at a profit of 20 %. Find the Selling Price of the table (in rupees).
    1. 1320
    2. 1080
    3. 1200
    4. 1230
Correct Option: A

Single equivalent discount = 20 + 10 −
20 × 10
= 28%
100

∴  C.P of table =
1500 × (100 - 28)
100

∴  C.P of table =
1500 × 72
100

∴  C.P of table = ₹ 1080
Actual C.P. = 1080 + 20 = ₹ 1100
∴  Required S.P. = 1100 ×
120
= ₹ 1320
100
