The original price of a car was $23600.because the car owner thought that he could get more money for the car,he increased the price of the car to 160% of its original price,after a week the car was not sold so the owner then discounted the price by 20%,the car was finally sold.what price was the car sold for?
a)$30208
b)$37768
c)$23600
d)$7552

• a)$30208
  160% of its original price = (23600/100)*160 = $37760
  after 20% discount = 37760 - [(37760/100)*20 ] = $30208

• 80% of 160% of c.p=s.p
  
  c.p=23600
  s.p=30208

• 160% of 23600=37760
  20%of the new price 37760=7552
  price at which car was sold=37760-7552=30208

• original price on which he bought the car=23600$
  so c.p=$23600
  s.p=?
  price hike is 160% of c.p but 20% discount
  means 80% is on c.p
  so total=160%*80%*23600=37768

• 160% increased price of the car is = $37760
  after giving 20% discount the ultimate price of the car goes to = $37760-$7552 = $30208
  so the car was sold for $30208
