The marked price of a TV set is ₹35,800. If the shopkeeper declares a 15% discount,then the selling price of theTV set is:

Answer: A

The selling price is ₹30,430.

A 15% discount means the shopkeeper sells at 85% of the marked price.

\[ 35800\times0.85=30430 \]

₹30,340, ₹30,530 and ₹30,540 are not equal to 85% of 35,800.

Another way is to subtract the discount: 15% of 35,800 is 5,370 and 35,800 − 5,370 = 30,430. The other options are close to this but do not equal it.
