Given: 

Discounts allowed by shopkeeper = 20 % and 25 %

Reward points = 2850 

Marked price = 72000

Formula used: 

Marked price = Selling price [100 / (100 – discount %)] × [100 / (100 - discount %)]

Calculation: 

Selling price = 72000 × [100 / (100 – 20%)] × [100 / (100 - 25%)]

7200× 80/100 × 75/100

72 × 8 × 75

⇒ 43200

1 reward point → ₹0.10

2850 reward points → 285

Final S.P will be = 43200 - 285

⇒ 42915

The net selling price is 42915.
