Question
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?
Solution
We have,
cost of a pair of jeans = ₹1450
cost of two shirts = 2 × 850 = ₹1700
∴ Total cost = 1450 + 1700 = ₹3150
Discount = 10 %
Hence, selling price = 3150 `(1 - 10/100)`
= ₹2835
