Math Problem Statement

During the sale a shop offered a discount of 10% on the marketed place of all items what would a customer have to pay for a pair of jeans market rate rupees1450 and two shirts market rate at 850 each

Solution

To calculate the total amount a customer has to pay for the pair of jeans and two shirts after applying a 10% discount, follow these steps:

Step 1: Calculate the total market price

  1. Market price of jeans: ₹1450

  2. Market price of one shirt: ₹850

    • Since there are two shirts, multiply the price of one shirt by 2:

    Total market price of shirts=850×2=1700\text{Total market price of shirts} = 850 \times 2 = ₹1700

  3. Total market price of all items:

    Total market price=Market price of jeans+Total market price of shirts\text{Total market price} = \text{Market price of jeans} + \text{Total market price of shirts}

    Total market price=1450+1700=3150\text{Total market price} = 1450 + 1700 = ₹3150

Step 2: Calculate the discount

  1. Discount rate: 10%

  2. Total discount amount:

    Discount amount=Total market price×Discount rate100\text{Discount amount} = \text{Total market price} \times \frac{\text{Discount rate}}{100}

    Discount amount=3150×10100=315\text{Discount amount} = 3150 \times \frac{10}{100} = ₹315

Step 3: Calculate the final amount to be paid

  1. Final amount:

    Final amount=Total market priceDiscount amount\text{Final amount} = \text{Total market price} - \text{Discount amount}

    Final amount=3150315=2835\text{Final amount} = 3150 - 315 = ₹2835

Conclusion

The customer has to pay ₹2835 for a pair of jeans and two shirts after applying a 10% discount.
