If A shopkeeper gives two successive discounts of 50% and 20% on a mattress, whose marked price is ₹72,580, what would be its selling price (in ₹) and the discount (in ₹) respectively?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 29,032 and 43,548.

Marked Price = ₹72,580

Single discount = -50 - 20 + 100/100 = -70 + 10 = -60%

Selling Price = 72,580 × 4010040\over100 = ₹29032

Total Discount = 72,580 − 29,032 = ₹43,548
