Question
Gurmeet sells an article priced at Rs. 25,000. He gives a discount of 8% on the first Rs. 20,000 and 5% on the remaining amount. Manjeet also sells another article of the same kind priced at Rs. 25,000. He gives a discount of 6% on the total price. Calculate the actual price charged by Gurmeet and Manjeet for the articles.
Solution
Gurmeet gives a discount of 8% on the first Rs.20000
So, S.P. on Rs.20000
= Rs.20000 - `(8)/(100)`(Rs.20000)
= Rs.20000 - Rs.1600
= Rs.18400
So, S.P. on Rs.20000
Gurmeet give a discount of 5% on the first Rs.5000
= Rs.5000 - `(5)/(100)`(Rs.5000)
= Rs.5000 - Rs.250
= Rs.4750
So, actual price at which Gurmeet sells the article
= Rs. 18400 + Rs.4750
= Rs.23150
Manjeet gives a discount of 6% on the first Rs.25000
So, S.P. on Rs.25000
= Rs.25000 - `(6)/(100)`(Rs.25000)
= Rs.25000 - Rs.1500
= Rs.23500
So, actual price at which Manjeet sells the article is Rs.23150, and that at which Gurmeet sells the article is Rs.23150.
