Options

A. 6968
B. 5419
C. 10065
D. 6869

Answer

To find the final sale price of the microwave oven after applying the discounts, we will follow these steps:

### Step 1: Calculate the price after the first discount of 40%
The original marked price (MP) of the microwave oven is Rs 15,485. The first discount is 40%.

1. Calculate the amount of the first discount:
\[ \text{First Discount} = \text{MP} \times \frac{40}{100} = 15,485 \times 0.40 = 6,194 \]

2. Subtract the first discount from the marked price to get the new price (SP1):
\[ \text{SP1} = \text{MP} - \text{First Discount} = 15,485 - 6,194 = 9,291 \]

### Step 2: Calculate the price after the second discount of 25%
Now, we apply the second discount of 25% on the new selling price (SP1).

1. Calculate the amount of the second discount:
\[ \text{Second Discount} = \text{SP1} \times \frac{25}{100} = 9,291 \times 0.25 = 2,322.75 \]

2. Subtract the second discount from SP1 to get the final sale price (SP2):
\[ \text{SP2} = \text{SP1} - \text{Second Discount} = 9,291 - 2,322.75 = 6,968.25 \]

Since we need the final sale price to the nearest rupee, we round it:
\[ \text{Final Sale Price} = \text{round}(6,968.25) = 6,968 \]

### Final Answer:
The final sale price of the microwave oven is Rs 6,968.
