Option 1: INR 775

Option 2: INR 745

Option 3: INR 755

Option 4: INR 765

Team Careers360 18th Jan, 2024

Marked Price = INR 1000
Putting values in the equation,
Net discount percentage $=10+15-\frac{10\times 15}{2}=25-1.5=23.5\%$
Now Selling price of the item,
Selling price = $1000(1-\frac{23.5}{100})=1000\times 0.765=765$
Hence, the selling price of the item is INR 765.
