During a sale, a shop offered a discount of 10% on the marked price of all the items. What would a customer have to pay for a pair of jeans marked at ₹ 1450 and two shirts marked at ₹ 850 each?

Solution:

Discount percentage = 10%

The marked price of a pair of jeans = ₹ 1450

Marked Price of a shirt = ₹ 850

(i) M.P. of a pair of jeans = C.P. of two jeans - Discount

(ii) M.P. of a shirt = C.P. of two shirts - Discount

Adding (i) and (ii) will give the amount he has to pay.

M.P of a pair of jeans = 1450

M.P of 2 shirts = 850 × 2 = 1700

Total M.P. = 1450 + 1700 = 3150

Discount on Total M.P =10% of 3150

= (10/100) × 3150

= 315

The amount customer has to pay is = Total M.P - Discount on total M.p

= 3150 - 315 = ₹ 2835
