Q.

Rahul went to purchase a Nokia mobile handset, the shopkeeper told him to pay 20% tax if he asked the bill. Rahul manages to get the discount of 5% on the actual saleprice of the mobile and he paid the shopkeeper Rs. 3325 without tax. Besides he manages to avoid to pay 20% tax on the already discounted price, what is the amount of discount that he has gotten?

Correct choice: C

Explanation:

CP = 100, SP (with tax) =120 New SP = 100 - 5 = 95 Effective discount = 120 - 95 = 25 So, at SP of 95 ----> discount = 25 and at SP of 3325 -----> discount = 25/95×3325 = 875
