A shopkeeper offers a 20% discount on all garments and offers a further discount of 5% to those customers who pay cash. What does a customer have to pay in cash for a jacket whose marked price is ₹7,200?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. ₹5,472.

M.P. of the jacket = Rs.7200

On applying 20% discount = 80% of 7200 = Rs.5760

On applying 5% extra who pays by cash = 95% of 5760 = Rs.5472

Thus, the customer has to pay Rs.5472
