• Ans is Rs. 49088
  original price=Rs. 23600
  price after increasing it by 160% = (160/100)*23600 + 23600=Rs. 61360
  after 20% discount= 61360 - (20/100)*61360=Rs.49088

• cost price=23600
  increased 160%=(23600*160/100)=37760
  eventually he decided to reduce 20%
  so (37760*20/100)=7552
  he sold the car for (37760-7552)=30208
  ans is Rs.30,208

• Rs. 30208
  Selling price=Price with 160% increase- 20% discount in price
  =(23600*160/100)-[(23600*160/100)(20/100)]=37760-7552= 30208

• Ans : 30,208
  since in first section of question it is given he increased price TO 160% of original price hence , (160/100)*23600 = 37,760
  again it discounted BY 20% hence (80/100)*37760 = 30,208

• p=23600
  cost when increment to 160% = 23600*1.60=37760
  price after giving 20% discount=37760*0.80=30208 Ans.

• Original Price: 23600
  
  160% of 23600 => 23600*160/100 = 37760
  
  Therefore, Total Price = 61360
  
  20% of 61360 is 12272, which is discounted by the customer.
  
  So, 61360-12272 = 49088 is the Answer.

• Increased price is 61360
  with 20% discount price will be 49088
  So final price is 49088
• 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(4) No(4)
• original price = 23600
  increased price = 160% of 23600
  = 37760
  discount = 20% of 37760
  = 7552
  so final price = 37760 - 7552
  =30208

• Dear All,
  too many have submitted their solutions for this question with answer either '49088' or '30208'.
  There is little confusion in the question with increased price and it is given " increased the price of the car to 160% of its original price "
  It should be (price*160/100)
  If the "increased the price of the car by 160% of its original price " then
  it would be [price+(price*160/100)]

  finally he sold for 128 rs.now come to point
  100 rs car he sold for 128
  so 23600 car he sold how much?
  answer=128*23600/100
  =30208

• It was given that the original price of a car increased by 160%
  hence it should be 61360 i.e ., (160/100)*23600 + 23600=Rs. 61360
  and then it is discounted by 20% i.e, 61360 - (20/100)*61360=Rs.49088
  Hence A is the answer
