Question

A shopkeeper offers a discount of 20% on an article originally priced at ₹1,250. What is the selling price after the discount?

• A. ₹1,000
• B. ₹950
• C. ₹1,150
• D. ₹1,200

Hint:

For percentage problems, first calculate the percentage of the original amount and then subtract it from the original price to find the final amount.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Calculate the discount.
The discount is 20% of ₹1,250. \[ \text{Discount} = \frac{20}{100} \times 1250 = 250 \] Step 2: Subtract the discount from the original price.
\[ \text{Selling price} = 1250 - 250 = 1000 \] Step 3: Conclusion.
The selling price after the discount is ₹1,000, so the correct answer is (A) ₹1,000.
