    Sanya purchased a microwave oven and increased its price by

    55% above the cost price. She sold it after offering a 25% discount for Rs. 1500. What would be the selling price if she gave a discount of only 10%?
    A Rs.1042.5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs.1200.2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs.1056.5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs.1795.5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let, cost price of the microwave oven be Rs. 100x

    Marked price = 1.55 × 100x = Rs. 155x

    Selling price after discount = 0.75 × 155x = Rs. 116.25x

    According to the question:

    116.25x = 1500

    So, x = 12.9

    Desired selling price = 0.90 × 1.55 × 1290 = Rs. 1795.5
