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?

Answer 1

Total marked price = Rs $(1,450 + 2 × 850)$ = Rs $(1,450 +1,700)$= Rs $3,150$
Given that, $discount$ % = $10$ %

Discount = Rs $\bigg(\frac{10}{100} × 3150\bigg)$ = Rs $315$

Also, $Discount$ = $Marked \;price - Sale \;price$
Rs $315$ = Rs $3150$ - $Sale \;price$
∴ $Sale \;price$ = Rs $(3150 - 315)$
= Rs $2835$

Thus, the customer will have to pay Rs $2,835$.
