Question

A dress is marked at ₹3,500. A discount offer changes from 10% to 15%. How much extra discount does a customer get?

• A. ₹175
• B. ₹185
• C. ₹195
• D. ₹200

Answer 1

Answer:

A. ₹175

Marked price = ₹3,500

Original discount (10%)

$10\% \text{ of } 3500 = \frac{10}{100}\times 3500$ = ₹350

New discount (15%)

$15\% \text{ of } 3500 = \frac{15}{100}\times 3500 =$₹525

Extra discount

₹525 - ₹350 = ₹175

Answer: ₹175 extra discount.
