    Question

    Priya purchased a piece of jewelry and marked its price 50%

    higher than the cost price. She sold it after giving a 20% discount for Rs. 4800. What would be the selling price if the discount was only 10%?
    A Rs.2593 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs.5400 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs.2056 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs.2244 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let, cost price of the jewelry be Rs. 100x

    Marked price = 1.50 × 100x = Rs. 150x

    Selling price after discount = 0.80 × 150x = Rs. 120x

    According to the question:

    120x = 4800

    So, x = 40

    Desired selling price = 0.90 × 1.50 × 4000 = Rs. 5400
