A garment company offers two successive discounts of 20% and 48% on the list price of the dresses. What is the final sale price (in ₹) of a dress ₹6000?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 2,496.

Single discount = -20 - 48 + 9.60 = 58.4%

Final price = 6000×(100−58.4)1006000\times{(100-58.4)\over100}

⇒ 6000×41.61006000\times{41.6\over100}

⇒ 60 × 41.6 = ₹2496
