Q:

Rahul went to purchase a Nokia mobile handset, the shopkeeper told him to pay 20% tax if he asked the bill. Rahul manages to get the discount of 5% on the actual saleprice of the mobile and he paid the shopkeeper Rs. 3325 without tax. Besides he manages to avoid to pay 20% tax on the already  discounted price, what is the amount of discount that he has gotten?

A) 750 B) 375
C) 875 D) 525
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 875

CP = 100, SP (with tax) =120

 

New   SP = 100 - 5 = 95

 

 Effective discount = 120 - 95 = 25 

 

So, at SP of 95 ----> discount = 25

 

and      at SP of 3325 -----> discount = 2595×3325 = 875
