An umbrella is listed at Rs 1500 and a discount of 20% is offered on the list price. What additional discount must be offered to the costumer to bring the net price to Rs 1104?1). 10%2). 8%3). 12%4). 15%

Answer»

Marked price of UMBRELLA = Rs. 1500

After a DISCOUNT of 20%,

SELLING price of the umbrella = Rs. (1500 × 80/100) = Rs. 1200

Difference from the required selling price = Rs. (1200 – 1104) = Rs. 96.

Let a discount of x% is required on the umbrella to make its selling price which is required,

x% of 1200 = 96

⇒ 1200 × x/100 = 96

⇒ x = 8%

Hence, a second discount of 8% is required on selling the umbrella.
