  1. A shopkeeper, in order to clear his old stock of T.V. sets, offers 12% discount on the T.V. sets. If the marked price of a T.V. set is Rs. 6500, the selling price of the T.V. set is:
    1. Rs. 5700
    2. Rs. 5720
    3. Rs. 5400
    4. Rs. 6000
Correct Option: B

Rate of discount = 12%
∴  S.P. of TV set
= 6500 × (100 – 12)%

=
6500 × 88
= Rs.5720
100

Second method :
Here, D = 12%,
M.P. = Rs. 6500, S.P. = ?
M.P. =
S.P. × 100
100 − D

6500 =
S.P. × 100
100 − 12

S.P. =
6500 × 88
100

S.P. = Rs. 5720
