A shopkeeper was selling all his items at 25% discount. During the off season, he offered 30% discount over and above the existing discount. If Pragya bought a skirt which was marked for Rs 1,200, how much did she pay for it?

Given that, in normal days shopkeeper give 25% discount and during the off season, he offered 30% discount over and above the existing discount. And the marked price of skirt = Rs.1200.

⇒ For normal days:



= Rs.300


∴ the skirt price will be = Rs.1200 - Rs.300


= Rs.900


And now for off season:


30% discount over and above the existing discount will be there



= Rs.270


∴ skirt price now will be = Rs.900 - Rs.270


= Rs.630
