    Question

    Mansi wanted to purchase 36 speakers whose cost was Rs.

    600 each. The trader offered her a discount if she were to purchase a set of 40 speakers. So she calculated that if she assume the normal price of 36 speakers then she can purchase 4 extra speakers which cost her only Rs. 210 each of four speakers at the cost price of 36 speakers after discount. What is the percentage discount?
    A 6.5 % Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 5 % Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 6% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 9% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Price of 36 speakers = 36 x 600 = 21600 Price of 40 speakers (without discount)= 40 x 600 = 24000 Price of 40 speakers (with discount) = 36 x 600 + 4 x 210 = 21600 + 840 = 22440 Therefore discount = 24000 тАУ 22440 = 1560 Hence discount % = (1560/ 24000) x 100 = 6.5%
