A person got an article at a 22% discount; if he had gotten no discount, then he would have had to pay ₹1,760 more. How much did he pay (in ₹) for the article?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. 6,240.
Let MP = x
22% discount: Paid = 0.78x
No discount: Paid = x
⇒ x - 0.78x = 1760
⇒ 0.22x = 1760
⇒ x = 8000
Paid = 0.78 × 8000 = ₹6240
