SSC Selection Post - Matriculation Level - 1st August 2025 - Shift 3 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q38

The marked price of a mobile is ₹10,000. A customer is offered two successive discounts of 20% and 10%. What is the total discount received?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Marked price = ₹10,000

First discount of 20% = 10,000 × 20/100 = ₹2,000

Price after the first discount = 10,000 - 2,000 = ₹8,000

Now, second discount of 10% = 8,000 × 10/100 = ₹800

Total discount = 2,000 + 800 = ₹2,800
