  1. A shopkeeper purchased a chair marked at ₹ 800, at two successive discounts of 10% and 15% respectively. He spent ₹ 28 on transportation and sold the chair for 800. His gain percent is :
    1. 40%
    2. 30%
    3. 25%
    4. 14%
Correct Option: C

Single equivalent discount

= 15 + 10 −
15 × 10
= 23.5%
100

∴  Cost price =
800 × 76.5
100

= ₹ 612
Actual C.P = ₹ (612 + 28) = ₹ 640
∴ Gain % =
800 − 640
× 100
100

∴ Gain % =
160 − 100
= 25 %
640
