Question

5. A store is having a 25% discount sale. Sheela has a Rs 50 gift voucher and wants to use it
to buy a board game marked for Rs 320. She is not sure how to calculate the concession
she will get. The sales clerk has suggested two ways to calculate the amount payable
Method 1 Subtract Rs 50 from the price and take 25% off the resulting price
Method 2 Take 25% off the original price and then subtract Rs 50
(a) Do you think both the methods will give the same result? If not, predict which method
will be beneficial for her​

Answer 1

Answer:

₹190

Step-by-step explanation:

$320 \times \frac{25}{100} = 80 \\ 320 - 80 = 240 \\ 240 - 50 = 190$
