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 one jeans marked at Rs.1450 and two shirts marked at Rs.850 each?

Answer 1

Hint: Firstly, as we are given the Marked price of jeans and shirt, and the discount percentage is also given, so we first find the discount amount of jeans and shirt respectively, using \[\dfrac{{discount{\text{ }}percent}}{{100}} \times Marked{\text{ price of the article}}\]. Now, to calculate the price a customer would pay for jeans and two shirts can be calculated by subtracting the respective discount amount from the articles marked price, and the summation of the price of jeans and twice the price of the shirt will be our answer.

Complete step by step Answer:

As per the given information we have to pay for one jeans marked at Rs.1450 and two shirts marked at Rs.850 each at the discount of \[10\% \].
Let us first calculate for one jeans,
So, the price of one jeans marked at Rs.1450
And the discount on jeans can be given as,
\[\dfrac{{discount{\text{ }}percent}}{{100}} \times Marked{\text{ price of the article}}\]
i.e.,
\[
   = \dfrac{{10}}{{100}} \times 1450\;{\text{ }}\;{\text{ }}\;{\text{ }}\;{\text{ }}\;{\text{ }}\;{\text{ }}\;{\text{ }}\;\; \\
   = Rs.145 \\
 \]

So, as the discount is offered so from the original price we have to subtract this amount in order to get amount to pay
Hence it is given as,
\[
  \therefore \;S.P\; = 1450 - 145\;{\text{ }}\;{\text{ }}\;{\text{ }}\;{\text{ }}\;{\text{ }}\;{\text{ }}\;{\text{ }}\;{\text{ }}\;{\text{ }}\; \\
  {\text{ }}\;\; = Rs.1305 \\
 \]

Similarly calculating the amount for two shirts marked at Rs.850 each, hence total amount is \[(Rs.850) \times 2 = Rs.1700\]
Now, we have to apply the discount so it is given as,
\[\dfrac{{discount{\text{ }}percent}}{{100}} \times Marked{\text{ price of the article}}\]
i.e.,
\[
  \; = \dfrac{{10}}{{100}} \times 1700\;{\text{ }}\;{\text{ }}\;{\text{ }}\;{\text{ }}\;{\text{ }}\;{\text{ }}\;{\text{ }}\; \\
  \; = Rs.170 \\
 \]
So, as the discount is offered so from the original price we have to subtract this amount in order to get amount to pay
Hence it is given as,
\[
  \therefore \;S.P\; = 1700 - 170\;{\text{ }}\;{\text{ }}\;{\text{ }}\;{\text{ }}\;{\text{ }}\;{\text{ }}\;{\text{ }}\;{\text{ }}\;{\text{ }}\; \\
  {\text{ }}\;\; = Rs.1530 \\
 \]
Hence, the summation of both the amounts after getting a discount is given as,
\[
  T.S.P = 1305 + 1530\;{\text{ }}\;{\text{ }}\;{\text{ }}\;{\text{ }}\;{\text{ }}\;{\text{ }}\;{\text{ }}\;{\text{ }}\;{\text{ }}\;{\text{ }}\;{\text{ }}\;{\text{ }}\;\; \\
   = Rs.2835 \\
 \]
Here, T.S.P its the total selling price.
Hence customer has to pay total Rs.2835 at the shop after getting discounts on all purchased items.

Note: Cost Price: The price at which an article is purchased, is called its cost price.
Selling Price: Price at which an article is purchased is known as its selling price.
Procedure to calculate discount:
1) The rate is usually given as a percent.
2) To find the discount, multiply the rate by the original price.
3) To find the sale price, subtract the discount from the original price
Hence, do the calculation of discount and selling price properly and without any error.
