Akriti twll the shopekeeper to lower the rate to an extent that she has to pay nothing more than R.s.2464 including tax .Find the reduction required.

Answer 1

Answer:

let discount be x

(MP - x) + 12(MP - x)/100 = 2464

(2464 - x) + 3(2464 - x)/25 = 2464

=> 25(2464 - x) + 3(2564 - x) = 2464 × 25

=> 25*2464 - 25 x + 3*2464 - 3 x = 2474*25

=> - 28 x = - 3*2464

=> x = (3*2464)/28

=> Rs 264
