Question

While watching TV Ted came across an advertisement by Flipkart, The "Big Billion Day SALE". Ted wanted to know what ‘sale’ is and his mum told him that we get discounts during sales.

Ted’s mum selected a T-shirt for him as his birthday present during the sale which costs Rs.1625 and has 40% discount. What is the final amount she had to pay for the T-shirt?

• A. Rs. 1225
• B. Rs. 1025
• C. Rs. 975
• D. Rs. 650

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Rs. 975

Marked price of the T-shirt = ₹ 1625

Discount percent = 40%

Discount = $\frac{40}{100}$ $\times$ 1625 = ₹ 650

Selling price = Marked Price - Discount
= 1625 - 650
= ₹ 975
