The shop owner tells her that on the marked price of Rs. 11,000, she can get a discount of 10 percent considering the sale period also, he suggested that if she pays through a mobile payment application, she can get an additional 2 percent off on the discounted price. If Shilpa decides to buy the set of bangles by paying through the mobile payment application, what is the net payment she will make? Correct Answer Rs. 9,702

Given:

Marked price of a set of bangles = Rs 11,000

In sale period given discount 10 %

Selling price= Market price - Discount percent

Selling price = 11,000 - (10 ÷ 100) × 11,000

Selling price= 11,000 - 1100

Selling price = Rs 9,900

Get an additional 2 % off on the discount price, payment through the mobile payment application

Net payment = Selling price - Additional discount %

Net payment = 9,900 - (2 ÷ 100) × 9,900

Net payment = 9,900 - 198

Net payment = Rs 9,702

She make net payment = Rs 9,702

Hence, "9702" is the answer.

Shortcut Trick: 

Given amount is always taken as 100 percent

Given discount 10 % means (100 - 10) = 90 percent 

She will pay 90 % of money

100 % = 11, 000

90 % =    ?

(11,000 ÷ 100) × 90 = Rs 9,900 

Rs 9,900 is taken as 100%

Given an additional discount of 2 % means (100 - 2) = 98 %

100 % = 9,900

98 % =   ?

(9,900 ÷ 100 %) × 98 % = Rs 9,702.
