marked prices of all the items. What would a customer have
to pay for a pair ofjeans marked at Rs 1450 and two shirts
marked at Rs 850 each?
Answers
Answer
Rate of discount on all items = 10%
Marked Price of a pair of jeans = Rs.1450 and Marked Price of a shirt = Rs.850
Discount on a pair of jeans
= \frac{Rate\times M.P}{100}=\frac{10\times1450}{100}=Rs.145
100
Rate×M.P
=
100
10×1450
=Rs.145
\therefore∴ S.P of a pair of jeans = Rs. 1450 - Rs. 145 = Rs. 1305
Marked Price of two shirts = 2 x 850 = Rs. 1700
Discount on two shirts = \frac{Rate\times M.P}{100}=\frac{10\times1700}{100}=\ Rs.\ 170
100
Rate×M.P
=
100
10×1700
= Rs. 170
\therefore∴ S.P. of two shirts = Rs.1700 – Rs.170
= Rs.1530
Therefore the customer had to pay
= 1305 + 1530
Discount on a pair of jeans
= \frac{Rate\times M.P}{100}=\frac{10\times1450}{100}=Rs.\ 145
100
Rate×M.P
=
100
10×1450
=Rs. 145
\therefore∴ S.P. of a pair of jeans
= Rs.1450 – Rs.145 = Rs.2,835
