- ARs 30000
- BRs 33000
- CRs 40000
- DRs 45000
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let the Marked Price (MP) of the grinder be M.
When a discount of 10% is offered, the selling price is 90% of the marked price:
90% of M=48000
100
90
×M=48000⟹M=

48000×10
=

160000
Now, we need to find the selling price (SP) when a discount of 25% is offered. The new selling price will be 75% of the marked price:
New SP=75% of M
New SP=
