A person bought goods without getting a discount of 28%, but he had to pay ₹1960 more. How much (in ₹) did he pay for the goods if he got the discount?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. ₹5040.
Let the price he paid be 100x.
If he got the discount, the price = 72% of 100x = 72x
According to the question,
⇒ 100x - 72x = 1960
⇒ 28x = 1960
⇒ x = 70
If he got the discount, price paid = 72x
⇒ 72 × 70 = 5040
