Praveen is offering a 10% discount on all clothes to sell the stock as early as possible. One of his friends, Vijay, came to the shop and purchased a coat. Because of their friendship, Praveen gave an additional 6% discount to Vijay. What was the price of the coat if Vijay paid Rs. 7,614?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. Rs. 9,000.
Let the original price of the coat = 100x
Final price after both discounts = 100x × (9/10) × (94/100) = 84.6x
84.6x = 7614
⇒ x = 7614/84.6 = 90
Original price = 100 × 90 = 9000
