Option 4: Way B, INR 21,168

Team Careers360 22nd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Way B, INR 21,168


Solution : Given: The marked price of an article is INR 28,000.
Use the formula, $SP=(1-\frac{d_1}{100})\times (1-\frac{d_2}{100})\times MP$ where $SP, d_1, d_2$ and $MP$ are the selling price, the discount percentages, and the marked price.
For the Way A,
$SP=1–\frac{24}{100}\times 28000$
⇒ $SP=\frac{100–24}{100}\times 28000$
