There was 25% off on handbags. Madhu bought a handbag. She also got a 10% discount for paying cash. She paid Rs. 405. What as the price tag on the handbag?
Answer: D
Both discounts apply in turn to the price tag, so work backwards from what she paid.
\[ \text{MP} \times 0.75 \times 0.90 = 405 \]
\[ \text{MP} \times 0.675 = 405 \quad\Longrightarrow\quad \text{MP} = \frac{405}{0.675} = \text{Rs. } 600 \]
Checking forwards: \( 600 \times 0.75 = 450 \), and \( 450 \times 0.90 = 405 \). Rs. 450 appears as a distractor because it is the price after the first discount only.
