The marked price of an electronic watch in a store is ₹15,620 and it is available at a discount of 27%. What is the price (in ₹, to the nearest tens) that a customer pays if he buys from the store?

Question

Accepted Answer

Step 1: Calculate the discount amount.
Discount = 27% of ₹15,620 = (27/100) × 15,620 = ₹4,217.4

Step 2: Calculate the price after discount.
Price = Marked Price - Discount = ₹15,620 - ₹4,217.4 = ₹11,402.6

Step 3: Round the price to the nearest tens.
Nearest tens of ₹11,402.6 is ₹11,400.

However, the options given have ₹12,500 as the closest to the calculated price. Let's re-check the calculation:

Recalculation:
Discount = 27% of 15,620 = 0.27 × 15,620 = 4,217.4
Price after discount = 15,620 - 4,217.4 = 11,402.6
Rounded to nearest tens = 11,400

Since 11,400 is option 2, it should be the correct answer.

Therefore, the correct answer is ₹11,400.
