A shopkeeper gives 20% discount on MRP. Joginder buys a suitcase from the shop, at an additional discount of 20% on the reduced price. If the MRP of the suitcase is ₹1,200, then find the purchasing price paid by Joginder.
Given:
MRP of the suitcase = ₹1200
First discount = 20%
Second discount = 20% on the reduced price

Apply the first 20% discount
Reduced Price = 1200
= 1200 0.8 = 960
Apply the second 20% discount on ₹960
Final Price = 960
