Question 6
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

Rate of discount on all items = 10%
Marked Price of a pair jeans = Rs. 1450 and Marked Price of a shirt = Rs 850
$\therefore$ Total marked price = $Rs.(1450+2\times 850)=Rs(1450+1700)=Rs.3150$
Given that, discount % = 10%
Discount = 10% of Rs 3150
$Discount=\frac{10}{100}\times 3150=Rs.315$
Also, Discount = Marked Price - Sale price
315 = 3150 - Sale price
$\therefore$ Sale price = Rs (3150 - 315)= Rs. 2835
Thus the customer will have to pay Rs. 2,835
