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.
