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 Rs. $1450$ and two shirts marked at Rs. $850$ each?

Answer 1

For a pair of jeans

Marked price $=Rs.1450$

Discount $=10\%ofRs.1450$

$=\frac{10}{100}\times 1450$

$=Rs.145$

$\therefore$ Sale price $=1450-145$

$=Rs.1305$

For two shirts

Marked price $=\left(Rs.850\right)\times 2=Rs.1700$

Discount $=10\%ofRs.1700$

$=\frac{10}{100}\times 1700$

$=Rs.170$

$\therefore$ Sale price $=1700-170$

$=Rs.1530$

Total sale price $=1305+1530$

$=Rs.2835$

Thus, the customer would have to pay Rs.2835
