A doll is marked for ₹2,500. A customer pays ₹1,800 for it. If the customer got a series of two discounts and the rate of the first discount is 10%, then the rate of the second discount is:
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. 20%
Marked price of the doll = Rs. 2500
Selling price of the doll after the first discount = Marked price × (100 - Discount%)/100
= 2500 × (100 - 10)/100 = 25 × 90 = Rs. 2250
Amount paid by the customer after the second discount = Rs. 1800
Second discount = Selling price after the first discount - Amount paid by the customer = 2250 - 1800 = Rs. 450
Second discount percentage = (Second discount × 100)/Selling price after the first discount = (450 × 100)/2250 = 20%
