At 10% discount, the selling price of a grinder is Rs 48000. What is the selling price if the discount is 25%?

  1. A
    Rs 30000
  2. B
    Rs 33000
  3. C
    Rs 40000
  4. D
    Rs 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=
9
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=
100
