Answer 1

Rs. 1875 more amount will Hiralal receive than Gopichand.

Step-by-step explanation:

Gopichand gives 40% discount on the purchase of Rs. 50,000

Gopichand receives = $\frac{100-40}{100}\times 50000 = \frac{60}{100}\times 50000 = Rs. \ 30000$

Hiralal gives first 25% discount on the purchase of Rs. 50000 and then again gives 15% discount to the customers.

Hiralal receives =

$\frac{100-25}{100}\times \frac{100-15}{100}\times 50000\\=\frac{75}{100}\times \frac{85}{100}\times 50000 \\= \frac{3}{4}\times 85 \times 500\\= Rs. \ 31875$

HIralal receives more than Gopichand by = Rs. (31875 - 30000) = Rs. 1875

Hence, Rs. 1875 more amount will Hiralal receive than Gopichand.
