A dealer marks a washing machine for Rs. 7500, and allows a discount of 6% on it. Find the selling price ?

A. Rs. 6850

B. Rs. 7050

C. Rs. 7250

D. Rs. 6950

Answer: Option B

Solution (By Examveda Team)

$$6\% = \frac{{3 \leftarrow {\text{Discount}}}}{{50 \leftarrow {\text{Marked price}}}}$$
Selling price = 50 - 3 = 47
Marked price → 50 units = Rs. 7500
So, Selling price → 47 units = Rs. 7050
