Question : A retailer buys a sewing machine at a discount of 15% and sells it for Rs. 1955. Thus, he makes a profit of 15%. The discount is:
Option 1: Rs. 270
Option 2: Rs. 290
Option 3: Rs. 300
Option 4: Rs. 310
Correct Answer: Rs. 300
Solution : Given: A retailer buys a sewing machine at a discount of 15% and sells it for Rs. 1955. Let the marked price be $100x$. At a 15% discount, the cost price for him = $85x$ He gained 15% by selling it in 1955. So, the cost price = $\frac{100}{115}×1955=1700$ So, $85x = 1700$ $\therefore 100x = \frac{100}{85}×1700=$ Rs. 2000 So, the discount is (2000 – 1700) = Rs. 300 Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 300.
