The marked price of an article is Rs.300. If the selling price is 50% more than the amount of discount allowed, find the selling price.

A. Rs. 200

B. Rs. 180

C. Rs. 150

D. None of these

Solution(By Examveda Team)

MP = 300
Let discount allowed is x.
SP = x + 50% of x
SP = MP - Discount
x + 50% of x = 300 - x
2x + x/2 = 300
4x +x = 600
5x = 600
x = 600/5 = 120
So, SP = 120 + 50% of 120

SP = 120 +60 = Rs. 180.

    where did you learn mathematical???
    it's 150
    simple way of equation (discount%×MP/100)
    50%×300/100
    00 from 300 and 100 cancelled then
    50%×3/1
    150/1
    The correct answer is 150
