SSC CGL Tier II - 7 March 2023 - Shift 1 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q15

At a clearance sale, a shopkeeper gives 45% discount. If a customer paid ₹330 during 
the sale, then what is the marked price of that shirt ? 
 

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. ₹600 

As we know that

SP = [(100 - D)/100] × MP

Given that

A shopkeeper gives a 45% discount and If a customer pays ₹330 during 
the sale

then SP = 330 Rs

Discount D = 45%

MP = 330/[(100-45)/100]

MP = 330 × 100/55 = 3000/5 = 600 Rs
