A sofa set is offered for sale at three successive discounts of 10%, 5%, and 2%. Find the net selling price of the sofa set if its marked price is ₹18,000.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. ₹15,082.20.

The marked price of the Sofa = ₹18,000

Selling price = Marked price × (100 - Discount %)/100

The selling price of the sofa set = 18000 × (100 - 10)/100 × (100 - 5)/100 × (100 - 2)/100 

= 18000 × 90/100 × 95/100 × 98/100 

= Rs 15082.20
