Question

A grocery shop is offering 10% discount on the purchase of Rs.500 and above. A 5% discount is given on the purchase of value above Rs.250 but below Rs.500. A discount of additional 1% is given if payment is made instantly in cash. How much would a customer have to pay by cash if he buys 25 packets of biscuits and one packet is priced at Rs.30?

A.

Rs.670.25

B.

Rs.668.25

C.

Rs.675

D.

Rs.667.05

Correct option is B

Given:
Price of one packet of biscuits = Rs. 30
Number of packets purchased = 25
Total purchase value = 25×30 = 750 Rs.
Discount structure:
10% discount on purchase of Rs. 500 and above
Additional 1% discount for instant cash payment
Concept Used:
Discounts on total purchase value are applied in succession. 
Solution:
Net discount after both successive discounts=(10+110×1100=10.9%) Price to pay=(89.1%)of(750=8911000×750=Rs. 668.25)\text{Net discount after both successive discounts} = ( 10 + 1 - \frac{10 \times 1}{100} = 10.9\% )\\ \ \\\text{Price to pay} = ( 89.1\% ) of ( 750 = \frac{891}{1000} \times 750 = \text{Rs. } 668.25) 
Thus, correct option is (b).
