Question

During a sale, a showroom offered a discount of $25\%$ on each item. What would a customer have to pay for a pair of jeans marked at $Rs.1,990$ and two shirts marked at $Rs.1,500$ each?

Answer 1

Rate of 1 jeans $=Rs.1990$

Total number of jeans $=1$

So the net amount for jeans $=1990\times 1=Rs.1900$

Discount on 1 jeans $=25\%$ of net amount of jeans $=25\%$ of $1900=Rs.475$

Rate of 1 shirt $=Rs.1500$

Total number of shirts $=2$

So the net amount of shirts $=1500\times 2=Rs.3000$

Discount on $25\%$ of net amount of shirts $=25\%$ of $3000=Rs.750$

Total discount amount $=475+750=1225$

Total amount without discount $=1900+3000=Rs.4900$

Total amount with Discount $=Rs.4900-1225=Rs.3675$
