Question

A book store offers a 10 % discount on all the books sold plus an additional discount of 5% on the total bill, if the total bill after the initial discount is more than or equal to Rs. 1000. Dilshan bought 3 books worth Rs. 450, Rs. 520 and Rs. 250 respectively. How much money was Dilshan able to save as a result of the various discounts offered by the store?​

Answer 1

Answer: Total amount Dilshan was able to save is given by Rs.176.90.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Cost of three books are given below:

Rs. 450, Rs. 520, and Rs. 250

Discount rate on all the books sold = 5%

Total amount would be

$450+520+250=Rs.1220$

Amount of discount on it is given by

$\dfrac{10}{100}\times 1220\\\\=Rs.122$

So, Amount after discount is given by

$1220-122\\\\=Rs.1098$

If the total bill after the initial discount is more than or equal to Rs. 1000 then, there will be additional discount of 5% on total bill.

$\dfrac{5}{100}\times 1098\\\\=\dfrac{5490}{100}\\\\=Rs.54.90$

So, Amount after discount would be

$1098-54.90\\\\=Rs.1043.10$

Hence, Total amount Dilshan was able to save is given by

$Rs.1220-Rs.1043.10\\\\=Rs.176.90$
