Answer 2

Answer:

The answer is 163.2

Step-by-step explanation:

The total amount of a toy = 200 Rs

Let the total amount of toy be 100%

Let the amount of 15% be 'a'

⇒ 100% ---- 200 Rs, then

    15%   ----  a

By cross multiplication,

⇒ a × 100 = 15 × 200

⇒ a = 15 × 2

⇒ a = 30 Rs

     (OR)

15% of 200 = (15/100) × 200 = 30 Rs

⇒ a = 30

Now, 200 - 30 = 170 Rs  i.e., amount after the 15% discount is removed.

Further discount of 4% on reduced price

Let 170 Rs be 100% and the amount of 4% be 'b'

100% ----- 170

4%     ------ b

By cross multiplication,

100 × b = 170 × 4

b = 680/ 100

⇒ b = 6.8

      (OR)

4% of 170 = (4/100) × 170 = 6.8

⇒ b = 6.8

Now, the amount to be paid by the customer = 170 - 6.8 = 163.2

∴ The customer have to pay Rs.163.2 in case for a toy of Rs.200.
