The marked price of an article is Rs.640. If a discount of 37.5 percent is given, then what will be the selling price of the article?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. Rs. 400.

The discount is 37.5% of the marked price, which is Rs. 640

Discount = 37.5100×640{37.5 \over 100} \times 640

⇒ 0.375 × 640 = 240

Selling Price (SP) = 640 - 240 = 400

Hence the selling price of the article is Rs. 400.
