उत्तर
a. Given, Marked Price of a board game = Rs 320
Also, discount in store = 25%
Sheela have a gift voucher value = Rs 50
In Method 1: We need to subtract Rs 50 from the price and take 25% off the resulting price
⇒ Rs 320 – Rs 50 = Rs 270
⇒ Now, 25% discount on Rs 270 = `270 - 25/100 xx 270`
= 270 – 67.5
= 202.5
In Method 2: We need to take 25% off the original price and then subtract Rs 50.
⇒ 25% off on Rs 320 = `320 - 25/100 xx 320`
⇒ Now, we know x% of `n = x/100 xx n`
= 320 – 80
= 240
⇒ Subtracting 50 we get
= 240 – 50
= Rs 190
Hence, method 2 will be beneficial for her.
b. In Method 1 amount paid by sheela is Rs 202.5
And in Method 2 amount paid by sheela is Rs 190
c. Method 1 will be used by stores because in this method actual discount is loss.
