Question

A shopkeeper purchased an air conditioner for Rs. 24,000. He marks it for Rs. 30,000. He sells it to a customer at a discounted price and still earns a profit of 9%. What is the rate of discount given by the shopkeeper to the customer?

A.

10.8%

B.

12.8%

C.

13.8%

D.

14.8%

Correct option is B

SP = 24000 + 24000 × 9%
SP = 24000 + 24000 × 9 / 100 = 26160.
Discount = 30000 - 26160 = 3840
Discount% = 3840/30000 × 100 = 12.8%
