At 15% discount the selling price of a microwave oven is ₹34000, what is the selling price if the discount is 37.5%?
- ARs 25000
- BRs 15625
- CRs 17968.75
- DRs 29218.75
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let the Marked Price (MP) of the microwave oven be M.
When a discount of 15% is offered, the selling price is 85% of the MP:
85% of M=34000
100
85
×M=34000
M=
85
34000×100
=400×100=40000
So, the Marked Price is ₹40000.
Now, we need to find the selling price at a 37.5% discount.
The new selling price will be (100−37.5)%=62.5% of the MP:
New SP=62.5% of 40000
New SP=
100
62.5
×40000=62.5×400=25000
Thus, the selling price is ₹25000.
When a discount of 15% is offered, the selling price is 85% of the MP:

34000×100
=400×100=40000
So, the Marked Price is ₹40000.
Now, we need to find the selling price at a 37.5% discount.
The new selling price will be (100−37.5)%=62.5% of the MP:
