  1. A fan is listed at ₹ 1,500 and a discount of 20% is offered on the list price. What additional discount must be offered to the customer now to bring the net price to ₹ 1,104 ?
    1. 8%
    2. 10%
    3. 15%
    4. 12%
Correct Option: A

Given that , Listed price = ₹ 1,500 and additional discount = ₹ 1,104
First discount = 20%

Price after first discount = ₹1500 −
20
× 1500
100

Price after first discount = ₹ (1500 – 300) = ₹ 1200
Let the additional discount be y%
∴  1200 −
y × 1200
= 1104
100

⇒  1200 – 12y = 1104
⇒  12y = 1200 – 1104 = 96
⇒  y =
96
= 8%
12
