Question

A shop offers 2 types of discounts: 20% off or flat 200 off. If the MRP of a pair of trousers is Rs.1150. find out which is better offer? How much money would you save by purchasing trouser at the better offer?​

Answer 1

Solution:

Cost of a pair of trousers = ₹ 1150

Cost if there is 20% off

$= ₹ \: (1150 - ( \frac{20}{100} \times 1150)) \\ = ₹ \: (1150 - \frac{23000}{100}) \\ = ₹ \: (1150 - 230) \\ = ₹ \: 920$

Cost if there is ₹ 200 off

$= ₹ \: (1150 - 200) \\ = ₹ \: 950$

∴ The 20% off offer is better.

Money that would be saved by purchasing trousers at the better offer

$= ₹ \: 230$

∴ ₹ 230 would be saved by purchasing trousers at the better offer.

Answer 2

Answer:

For a pair of jeans

Marked price =Rs.1450

Discount =10% of Rs.1450

=

100

10

×1450

=Rs.145

∴ Sale price =1450−145

=Rs.1305

For two shirts

Marked price =(Rs.850)×2=Rs.1700

Discount =10% of Rs.1700

=

100

10

×1700

=Rs.170

∴ Sale price =1700−170

=Rs.1530

Total sale price =1305+1530

=Rs.2835

Thus, the customer would have to pay Rs.2835
