The selling price of an article is Rs 816 if the discount on it is 15%. What would be the selling price of the article (in Rs) if the discount on it is 25% ?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 ie 720.

MP - discount = SP 

0.85 × MP = SP

MP = 816/0.85 = 960

Discount = 25%

MP - Discount = SP

960 - (0.25 × 960) = SP

SP = Rs 720
