An article was sold for Rs. 1,215 after giving a discount of 19%. If a discount of 17.5% is given, then for how much (in Rs.) should the article be sold?
- A1,527.30
- B1,327.50
- C1,237.50
- D1,723.50
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let the Marked Price (MP) of the article be 100%.
When a discount of 19% is given, the selling price is:
100%−19%=81%
Given that this selling price is Rs. 1,215:
81%→1,215
1%→
81
1215
=15
If a discount of 17.5% is given, the new selling price will be:
100%−17.5%=82.5%
Therefore, the required selling price is:
New SP=82.5×15=Rs. 1,327.50
When a discount of 19% is given, the selling price is:
100%−19%=81%
Given that this selling price is Rs. 1,215:
81%→1,215
1%→
81
1215
=15
If a discount of 17.5% is given, the new selling price will be:
100%−17.5%=82.5%
Therefore, the required selling price is:
New SP=82.5×15=Rs. 1,327.50
