$400 - ($400 x 0.25) = $300

$300 - ($300 x 0.10) = $270

$270 - ($270 x 0.05) = $256.50

Answer 2

Selling price of an item is $256.50 (A).

Explanation:

Given : WE have given an item listed at $400 subject to a discounted series of $25%, 10%, and 5% .

To find : Find the selling price of an item.

Formula used : Selling price = marked price - discount.

Solution : We have an item listed at = $400.

Discount percentage = $25% , $10% , $5.

Discount 1 = $400 ×
`(25)/(100)` = $100.

Selling price = $400-100 = $300.

Discount 2 = $300 ×
`(10)/(100)` = $30.

Selling price = $300-30 = $270.

Discount 3 = $270 ×
`(5)/(100)` = $13.50.

Final selling price = $270-13.50 = $256.50.

Therefore, Selling price of an item is $256.50 (A).
