Question
The marked price of a jacket is ₹3,000. A shop offers a 10% discount, but during a sale, they offer an additional 5% discount on the already discounted price. What is the final price of the jacket after both discounts?
The correct answer is
₹2,565
First, apply a 10% discount: ₹3,000 × 10% = ₹300. The price after the first discount is ₹3,000 - ₹300 = ₹2,700. Then, apply a 5% discount on ₹2,700: ₹2,700 × 5% = ₹135. The final price is ₹2,700 - ₹135 = ₹2,565.
