What is the selling price of a dress that has a marked price of Rs. 500 and is given a 20% discount and subsequently a 10% discount?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Rs. 360

Given that

Marked Price (M.P.) = Rs. 500

Discount (D)= 20% and 10%

Formula used

Selling price = M.P. × (100 - D)/100

Calculation

Selling price = 500 × (100 - 20)/100 × (100 - 10)/100

S.P. = 500 × 80/100 × 90/100 

S.P. = Rs. 360
