Question

If the selling price is ₹2,886 after allowing a discount of 26% on the marked price, then the amount of discount is:

• A. ₹1625
• B. ₹2190
• C. ₹1014
• D. ₹2000

Answer 1

Answer:

C. ₹1014

Let the marked price be M.

Given:
Selling Price (SP) = ₹2886
Discount = 26%

So,
SP = 74% of M
( 0.74M = 2886 )

( M = \frac{2886}{0.74} = 3900 )

Now, Discount = 26% of 3900
= ( 0.26 \times 3900 = 1014 )

Final Answer: ₹1014
