Question

A seller offers a discount of 12% if the total sale price of different products purchased by a single customer is below ₹3,000, and discount of 15% if the total sale value of all the products exceeds ₹3,000. A shirt costing ₹900 was sold to Anand after earning a margin of 9% and also a jacket costing ₹1,900 was sold to him after a margin of 6%. How much does Anand have to pay (in ₹) for the final settlement of the bill?

A.

2,645.60

B.

2,953.60

C.

3,005.40

D.

2,635.60

Correct option is D

Given:
The price of the shirt is ₹900, and the margin on the shirt is 9%.
The price of the jacket is ₹1,900, and the margin on the jacket is 6%.
A discount of 12% is offered if the total sale price is below ₹3,000, and a discount of 15% is offered if the total sale price exceeds ₹3,000.
Formula Used:
Selling price = Cost price × (1 + margin)
Total sale price = Sum of the selling prices of both products.
Discounted price = Total sale price × (1 - discount rate)
Solution:
The cost price of the shirt is ₹900, and the margin is 9%.

Selling price of shirt = 900×(1+9100)=900×1.09=981900 \times (1 + \frac{9}{100}) = 900 \times 1.09 = 981

The cost price of the jacket is ₹1,900, and the margin is 6%.

Selling price of jacket =  1900×(1+6100)=1900×1.06=20141900 \times (1 + \frac{6}{100}) = 1900 \times 1.06 = 2014

Total sale price = 981 + 2014 = 2995

Since the total sale price is ₹2995, which is below ₹3,000, a 12% discount will apply.

Discount amount = 2995×12100=2995×0.12=359.4 2995 \times \frac{12}{100} = 2995 \times 0.12 = 359.4

Amount payable = 2995 - 359.4 = 2635.6

The amount Anand has to pay is ₹2,635.60.

Thus, the correct option is (d) ₹2,635.60
