He decided to open the website of snapdeal, where the same phone had a marked price of Rs 11000 and had a discount of 30% on it. Which is a better deal, in terms of the cost?

• A. Flipkart
• B. Snapdeal
• C. Both deals are equal
• D. Cannot determine

Answer 1

The correct option is A Flipkart

The deal in flipkart was 25% discount on Rs 10000.

The sale price = $10000\times \frac{100-25}{100}=10000\times \frac{75}{100}=7500$

The deal in snapdeal was 30% discount on Rs 11000

Sale price in snapdeal = $11000\times \frac{100-30}{100}=11000\times \frac{70}{100}=7700$

In terms of the sale price, or the cost price, the deal in flipkart is a better deal, since the phone would cost Rs 7500, which is Rs 200 lesser than the price in snapdeal, which is Rs 7700
