A sample question from this test
a pressure cooker is sold for ₹1,330 after a discount of 30% on the marked price. What is the marked price (in ₹)?
- 1,905
- 3,800
- 1,903
- 1,900
Answer: D. 1,900. Marked price = selling price ÷ (1 − 30/100) = 1,330 ÷ 0.7 = ₹1,900.
How to approach this test
Successive discounts multiply (they do not add): 20% then 10% is 0.8 × 0.9 = 0.72, a single discount of 28%.
