Question

During a sale, a shop offered a discount of 10% on the marked prices of all the items. What would a customer have to pay for a pair of jeans marked at ₹1450 and two shirts marked at ₹850 each?

Answer 1

For a pair of jeans, Marked price = ₹1450

Discount = 10% of ₹1450

=$\frac{10}{100}$ ×1450

= ₹145

∴ Sale price = 1450 − 145

= ₹1305

For two shirts

Marked price = (₹850)×2 = ₹1700

Discount = 10% of Rs.1700

=$\frac{10}{100}$ ​×1700

= ₹170

∴ Sale price = 1700−170

= ₹1530

Total sale price = 1305 + 1530

= ₹2835

Thus, the customer would have to pay ₹2835
