Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
- Selling price after first discount
$ =3200-\frac{10}{100}\times 3200 $
$ =3200-320=2880 $
Let second discount be x%.
Selling price after second discount
$ 2448=2880-\frac{x}{100}\times 2880 $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ \frac{x\times 2880}{100}=2880-2448 $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ x=\frac{432\times 100}{2880}=\frac{30}{2}=15 $ %
