The list price of an electricle fan is Rs. 300. If two successive discounts of 15% and 10% are allowed, its selling price would be

Options

A. Rs. 227.50
B. Rs. 225
C. Rs. 230
D. Rs. 229.50

Answer

To find the selling price of the electrical fan after applying two successive discounts of 15% and 10% on its list price of Rs. 300, we can follow these steps:

### Step 1: Calculate the first discount
The first discount is 15% of the list price.

\[ \text{First Discount} = \text{List Price} \times \frac{15}{100} = 300 \times 0.15 = 45 \]

### Step 2: Calculate the price after the first discount
Subtract the first discount from the list price to find the new price.

\[ \text{Price after first discount} = \text{List Price} - \text{First Discount} = 300 - 45 = 255 \]

### Step 3: Calculate the second discount
Now, apply the second discount of 10% on the new price (Rs. 255).

\[ \text{Second Discount} = \text{Price after first discount} \times \frac{10}{100} = 255 \times 0.10 = 25.5 \]

### Step 4: Calculate the final selling price
Subtract the second discount from the price after the first discount to find the final selling price.

\[ \text{Selling Price} = \text{Price after first discount} - \text{Second Discount} = 255 - 25.5 = 229.5 \]

Thus, the selling price of the electrical fan after applying the two successive discounts is **Rs. 229.50**.
