Question:
The price of a shirt is Rs 260 but the shopkeeper successively discount 15% & 20%. The net sales price is subject to a sales tax of 5%. What does the buyer pay ?
Options:
A) Rs 172.64
B) Rs 183.64
C) Rs 194.64
D) Rs 185.64
Solution:
1st discount
S.P = Rs.260 – 15% of  Rs.260
      = 260 – 39 = 221
2nd discount
S.P= Rs.221 – 20% of Rs. 221
    = 221 – 44.2 = 176.8
Sales tax =\(\cfrac{5}{100}\times\cfrac{1768}{10}\)  

= \(\cfrac{8840}{1000}\)
= Rs.8.84
Amount paid by buyer 

= Rs.176.8 + Rs.8.84

= Rs.185.64.

2nd discount
S.P= Rs.221 – 20% Rs.221
= 221 – 44.2 = 176.8
Sales tax =5/100 × 1768/10
