A wholesaler lists a carton of soap at ₹4800 and allows a trade discount of 25%, plus a further cash discount of 4% for immediate payment. A retailer who pays cash pays how much (in ₹)?

Question

Accepted Answer

3456. The trade discount brings the price to 4800 × 0.75 = ₹3600, and the cash discount is taken on that reduced figure: 3600 × 0.96 = ₹3456. (Adding the two discounts to 29% and charging 4800 × 0.71 = ₹3408 is the standard slip; ₹3600 stops after the first discount.)
