Calculate Final Watch Price After Discounts
The problem requires calculating the final selling price of a luxury watch after applying a percentage discount and a fixed amount deduction.
Steps to Calculate Final Price
-
Calculate the price after the initial 18% discount:
- Marked Price (MP) = ₹75,000
- Discount Percentage = 18%
- Discount Amount = \(18\% \times 75000 = \frac{18}{100} \times 75000 = 18 \times 750 = ₹13,500\)
- Price after 18% discount = MP - Discount Amount
- Price after 18% discount = \(75000 - 13500 = ₹61,500\)
-
Apply the additional ₹5,000 flat discount:
- Price after first discount = ₹61,500
- Additional Flat Off = ₹5,000
- Final Price = Price after first discount - Additional Flat Off
- Final Price = \(61500 - 5000 = ₹56,500\)
The final price of the watch is ₹56,500.
Important Questions from Discount and MP
A single discount equivalent to two successive discounts of 15% and 25% is:
