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

  1. 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 = \(75000 - 13500 = ₹61,500\)
  2. 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.
