- ARs 13500
- BRs 20000
- CRs 16065
- DRs 21465
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let the Marked Price (MP) of the freezer be M.
When the discount is 19%, the Selling Price (SP
1
) is 100%−19%=81% of MP.
0.81×M=24000
M=
0.81
24000
When the discount is 32.5%, the new Selling Price (SP
2
) is 100%−32.5%=67.5% of MP.
