If Ram purchases a fan, he gets 8% discount, however, if he purchases three fans he gets 6% on the first, 10% on the second and 12% on the third. If the price paid by Ram for three fans is ₹6,800, what is the marked price of each fan?

Question

Accepted Answer

Let the marked price of each fan be ₹x.

When Ram buys three fans, he gets:
- 6% discount on the first fan: Price paid = x - 0.06x = 0.94x
- 10% discount on the second fan: Price paid = x - 0.10x = 0.90x
- 12% discount on the third fan: Price paid = x - 0.12x = 0.88x

Total price paid for three fans = 0.94x + 0.90x + 0.88x = (0.94 + 0.90 + 0.88)x = 2.72x

Given, 2.72x = 6800
=> x = 6800 / 2.72
=> x = 2500

Therefore, the marked price of each fan is ₹2,500.
