A person bought a book at a 31% discount on its printed price. If no discount was given, then he would have to pay Rs 2,480 more. How much did he pay (in Rs) for the book?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 5520

Let's assume the MP of the book = 100

Discount on the book = 31%

After 31% discount the the price of the book = Rs 69

According to the question,

⇒ 100 - 69 = 2480

⇒ 31 = 2480

⇒ 1 = 80

So, the price of the book = 80 × 69 = Rs 5520
