SSC CPO - 29 June 2024 Shift 2 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q102

The marked price of an immersion rod in an electronic store is ₹900. The store offers a discount of 12% on its sale. At what price (in ₹) can a customer buy it from the electronic store?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 792.

Given that, MP = ₹900

Discount = 12%

SP=MP×100−D100SP = MP \times {{100 - D}\over 100}

SP for the store = CP for the customer

According to the given question,

SP=900×100−12100SP = 900 \times {{100 - 12}\over 100}

⇒ SP = 9 × 88

⇒ SP = 792

Hence the price (in ₹) of the immersion rod that a customer can buy from the electronic store is 792.
