SSC CPO - 24 Nov 2020 - Shift 2 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q149

On the marked price of Rs. 1,250 of an article, three successive discounts of 5%, 15%, and 20% are offered. What will be the selling price (in Rs.) after discounts?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. 807.50.

we know that,

S.P = M.P × {(100% - discount%)/100}

Now, according to the question

⇒ S.P = 1250 × (95/100) × (85/100) × (80/100)

⇒ S.P = Rs.807.5

So, the selling price (in Rs.) after discounts is Rs.807.5
