                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:

                Marked price of a pair of jeans = Rs 1450 \[\therefore \] Discount of 10% off = 10% of Rs 1450 = Rs \[\frac{10}{100}\times 1450\] = Rs 145 \[\therefore \] Sale price = Marked price ? Discount = Rs 1450 ? Rs 145 = Rs 1305 Marked price of two shirts each of Rs 850 = Rs \[850\times 2\] = Rs 1700 \[\therefore \] Discount of 10% off = 10% of Rs 1700                 = Rs \[\frac{10}{100}\times 1700\] = Rs 170 \[\therefore \] Sale price = Marked price - Discount = Rs 1700 ? Rs 170 = Rs 1530 \[\therefore \] Total payment made by customer = Rs 1305 + Rs 1530 = Rs 2835 Hence, the customer will have to pay Rs 2835 for a pair of jeans and two shirts.
