Question

    A dealer bought a microwave for Rs. 4,000 and a blender for

    Rs. 1,500. He increased their prices by 25% and 10% respectively. If both items were sold together for Rs. 5,700, how much total discount was given?
    A Rs.200 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs.560 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs.950 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs.350 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Sum of the marked prices = 1.25 × 4000 + 1.1 × 1500 = 5000 + 1650 = Rs. 6,650

    Therefore, total discount offered = 6650 – 5700 = Rs. 950
