Question

Mark saves at least 8,000 on the purchase of an electric scooter which is sold at \(20\%\) discount. What could be the minimum possible marked price of the electric scooter?

• A. ₹ 10000
• B. ₹ 20000
• C. ₹ 40000
• D. ₹ 80000

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Let the marked price of the scooter be M. The discount on the scooter is 20%. Mark saves at least ₹8,000, so we have:

\[ 0.2M = 8000. \]

Step 2: Solving for M:

\[ M = \frac{8000}{0.2} = 40,000. \] 

Conclusion: The minimum possible marked price of the scooter is ₹40,000.
