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
