Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

For A shirt,

MP = Rs 1600

Discount = 15%of 1600

= 15/100 * 1600

= Rs 240

SP = MP - Discount

= 1600 - 240

= Rs 1360

For B shirt,

MP = Rs 1500

Discount = 12% of 1500

= 12/100 * 1500

= Rs 180

SP = MP - Discount

= 1500 - 180

= Rs 1320

Therefore shirt B is cheaper and by

1360 - 1320 = Rs 40
