Question 13

Marked price of a chair is Rs 800 and discount is 15%. What is additional discount (in percentage) should be offered to the customer to bring the price of chair to Rs 578?

Solution

Marked price of a chair is Rs 800 and discount = 15%

=> Selling price = $$800-(\frac{15}{100}\times800)$$

= $$800-120=Rs.$$ $$680$$

Actual selling price = Rs. 578

=> Additional Discount % = $$\frac{(680-578)}{680}\times100$$

= $$\frac{102}{6.8}=15\%$$

=> Ans - (A)
