1. A toy store regularly sells all stock at a discount of 20 percent to 40 percent. If an additional 25 percent were deducted from the discount price during a special sale, what would be the lowest possible price of a toy costing Tk. 16 before any discount?
- A. Tk. 5.60
- B. Tk. 5.60
- C. Tk. 5.60
- D. Tk. 5.60
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
Let cost price(CP) of toy is 100 tk
And maximum profit 40%
Selling price at 40% discount is 100 - 40 = 60 tk
Selling price (SP) After Another additional 25% discount is
60 - 25% of 60
= 60 - 15
= 45
Now
If CP is 100tk then possible SP is 45tk
" " " 16tk " " " is (45×16)/100 = 7.2 tk
Ans. 7.2tk
