a) 15%
b) 20%
c) 25%
d) 30%
Answer: a) 15%
Explanation: Marked price = $940
Selling price = $799
Discount = Marked price – Selling price

a) $300000
b) $286748
c) $263952
d) $218942
Answer: c) $263952
Explanation: Marked price of the bungalow = $3,00,000

Net selling price after the successive discounts = 3,00,000 x ((100-6))/100 x ((100-4))/100 x ((100-2.5))/100
= 3,00,000 x 94/100 x 96/100 x 97.5/100
= (3 x 94 x 96 x 97.5)/10
= $2,63,952
