A merchant allows 5% discount on all his goods to all his customers. He offers a further discount of 2% on the reduced price to those customers who pay cash. What will a customer actually has to pay for an article in cash if its Marked Price is Rs 4800?1). Rs 3478.502). Rs 4468.803). Rs 5670.584). Rs 4560

Answer»

Given that,

MARKED PRICE of the article = Rs 4800

First discount = 5% of marked price

= 5 × 4800/100 = Rs 240.

Net price after discount = Rs (4800 - 240)

= Rs 4560

Second discount = 2% of Rs 4560

= 2 × 4560/100 = Rs 91.20

∴ Net price after discount = Rs 4560 – Rs 91.20

= Rs 4468.80

Short TRICK Method:-

Required price $(= 4800 \times \left( {1 - \FRAC{5}{{100}}} \right) \times \left( {1 - \frac{2}{{100}}} \right))$

= Rs 4468.80

Hence, the required answer is Rs 4468.80,
