Question

From a 'handloom store', Sudhir purchased the following items.

(i) 2 bedsheets, ₹375 each
(ii) 2 floormats, ₹525 each

On this purchase, he received a rebate of 15 percent. Find the total rebate.

• A. ₹270
• B. ₹250
• C. ₹280
• D. ₹260

Answer 1

The correct option is A ₹270

$\text{Cost of two bedsheets}=2\times 375=₹750$

$\text{Cost of two floormats}=2\times 525=₹1050$

$\text{Total cost of items purchased}=750+1050=₹1800$

$\therefore \text{Total rebate given on marked price}$
$=1800\times \frac{15}{100}$
$=₹270$
