See a worked example
A shopkeeper marks up an item's cost price by 40%, then offers a 20% discount on the marked price. The item finally sells for ₹560. What was the cost price?
A) ₹460
Too low for either the correct multiplier or the common shortcut - a slipped decimal during division.
B) ₹467
The classic trap: treating “+40% then −20%” as one flat “+20%” net change and dividing ₹560 by 1.20. Successive percentage changes multiply, they don't subtract - exactly the kind of Calculation Error Preppyy's diagnostic engine flags and tracks for recurrence.
C) ₹500 - Correct
Correct. CP × 1.40 × 0.80 = CP × 1.12 = ₹560, so CP = ₹500.
D) ₹520
Overcorrects by applying the discount to the cost price instead of the marked price.
