Answer 1

Let the original price of the toaster be 100x. Then Discount given is 30%+12% So total discount is 42% of 100x =42x. Money paid by Paul=100x-42x = 58x .
Hence 58x=1232 => x=616/29 . So original price of toaster is 61600/29 = 2124.13789 approximated as 2124ruppees. Hope it helps you. Please mark me as Brainliest.
