Answers
★ Calculate the rent at Neelgiri apartments.
Rent for the first two months is 20% off.
One bedroom rate is Rs 6000 per month.
Total rent after 2 months = Rs 6000 × 2 = Rs 12000
Rent off
= Rs 12000 × 20/100
= Rs 240O
After rent off the chargge
= Rs 12000 - Rs 240O
= Rs 9600
★ Calculate the rent at Savana apartments.
The first month is 50% oft.
One bedroom rate is Rs 7000 per month.
Rent off in first month
= Rs 7000 × 50/100
= Rs 3500
So rent charge after 2 months
= Rs 7000 + Rs 3500
= Rs 10500
✦ Now determine which apartment will be cheaper for the first two months and by how much.
At Neelgiri apartments, Rent for the two months = Rs 9600
At Savana apartments, Rent for the two months = Rs 10500
So, Neelgiri apartments will be cheaper for the first two months
The difference
= Rs 10500 - Rs 9600
= Rs 900
Hence Neelgiri apartments will be cheaper for the first two months by Rs 900.
