A bag is marked at Rs. 2,000. A shopkeeper offers two successive discounts of 10% and 5%. What is the final price the customer pays?​

A.

Rs. 1,710

B.

Rs. 1,700

C.

Rs. 1,800

D.

Rs. 1,750

Correct option is A

Given:

Marked Price (MP) of the bag = Rs. 2000

Successive discounts = 10% and 5%

Formula Used:

After a discount of (x%):

New Price = Old Price × (1x100)\left(1 - \frac{x}{100}\right)​​

Solution:

Equivalent successive discount:

10%+5%10×5100=14.5%10\% + 5\% - \frac{10 \times 5}{100} = 14.5\%​​

Total discount:

14.5% of 2000 = 290

2000 - 290 = Rs. 1710​

Final price paid = Rs. 1710
