Answer 2

The total discounted amount on clothes = 32,000 Rs

Given:

Ramakant spends 50% of his income on clothes and 40% on food

The amount he spent on food is Rs. 38,800

To find:

What is the total discounted amount on clothes if he gets 40% discount on market price?

Solution:

To find the discounted amount on clothes we need to find the amount he spent on clothes

Let x be the income of Ramakant

Given that he spent 40% on food

Then amount he spent on food = 40% of x

From given data 40% of x =  38,800   [ the amount spent on food ]

⇒ $\frac{40}{100} x= 38,400$  

⇒ $x= 38,400 (\frac{100}{40} )$

⇒ x = 96000

⇒ Ramakant income = 96000

The total amount spent on clothes = 50% of 96000

⇒ $\frac{50}{100} (96000)$ = 48000

Here, Ramakant spent 48000 Rs on clothes by getting 40% discount on Marked price

Let a be the marked price of Clothes

Then the amount he spent on clothes = a - 40% of a

⇒ $a - \frac{40a}{100}$  

As we know the amount spent on clothes = 48000 Rs

⇒ $a - \frac{40a}{100} = 48000$  

⇒ $\frac{100a - 40a}{100} = 48000$  

⇒ 60a = 4800000

⇒ a = 80000

Therefore, the total discounted amount = 80000 - 48000 = 32000

The total discounted amount = 32,000 Rs
