A shopkeeper announces a discount of 48% and then by a further discount of 15%. What is the final sale price (in Rs, to the nearest rupee) of a sofa costing Rs 29600 and what is the discount (in Rs)?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 13083, 16517
Cost of Sofa after 1st discount = 29600 - 48% of 29600 = 29600 (1 - 48/100) = Rs 15392
Cost of Sofa after 2nd discount = 15392 - 15% of 15392 = 15392(1 - 15/100) = Rs 13083
The selling price of the Sofa = Rs 13083
Total discount offered = 29600 - 13083 = Rs. 16517
