SSC CGL - 27 July 2023 - Shift 2 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q52

A laptop is sold for ₹54,000 after giving a discount of 20%. What is the list price (in ₹) of the laptop?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 67500.

Let the list price of the laptop = P

the selling price after discount = List Price − (Discount × List Price)

⇒ 54000 = P − 0.20P

⇒ 54000 = 0.80P

⇒ P = 54000/0.80

⇒ P = 67500 ₹
