Marked price of board game = Rs. 320
Discount in store = 25 %
Sheeta have a gift voucher value = Rs. 50
In method 1 Rs. 320 - Rs. 50 = Rs. 270
Now, 25 % discount on Rs. 270 = 270 - 25100×270
= 270 - 67.5 = Rs. 202.5
In method 2 25 % off on Rs. 320, then subtract Rs. 50
=320−25100×320−50=320−80−50=Rs.190
In method 1 Amount paid = Rs. 202.5
In method 2 Amount paid = Rs. 190
Marked price of board game = Rs. 320
Discount in store = 25 %
