A shop gives 15% discount on the purchase of a T.V. If paid for in cash immediately, a further discount of 12% is given. If the marked price is ₹15,000, what is the price of the T.V. if cash purchase is made?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
The correct choice is: “₹11,220”
Successive discounts are applied one after the other.
After 15%: 15,000 × 0.85 = ₹12,750. After a further 12% on this: 12,750 × 0.88 = ₹11,220.
“₹12,750” is the price after only the first discount; the two discounts must not be simply added (27% of 15,000 would give ₹10,950).
