A shopkeeper offers a 20% discount on all garments and offers a further discount of 5% to those customers who pay cash. What does a customer have to pay in cash for a jacket whose marked price is ₹7,200?

Correct option is C

Given:

Marked Price (MP) = ₹7,200

First discount = 20%

Additional cash discount = 5%

Formula Used:

Final Price = $$\text{MP} \times \left(1 - \frac{d_1}{100} \right)$$$$\times \left(1 - \frac{d_2}{100} \right)$$​​​

Solution:

Final Price = $$7200 \times \left(1 - \frac{20}{100} \right)\times \left(1 - \frac{5}{100} \right)$$​ 

​$$= 7200 \times 0.80\times 0.95 \\ \ \\ = ₹5,472$$​​

Thus,  Customer has to pay ₹5,472 in cash
