Question : The list price of an electric fan is Rs. 300. If two successive discounts of 15% and 10% are allowed, its selling price would be:

Option 1: Rs. 227.50

Option 2: Rs. 225

Option 3: Rs. 230

Option 4: Rs. 229.50

Team Careers360 20th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Rs. 229.50


Solution : We know,
Equivalent single discount = $(a+b-\frac{a\times b}{100})$%,
Where $a,b$ are successive discounts.
So, $15+10-\frac{15\times 10}{100}=23.5$%
$\therefore$ Required selling price = (100 – 23.5)% of 300 = $\frac{300 \times 76.5}{100}$ = Rs. 229.50
Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 229.50.
