They visit a supermarket and decide to buy a mobile phone worth Rs. 18,000. The retailer charged an additional 2 percent amount for gift wrapping and delivery to their friend's home. What is the amount that each of them have to bear for the purchase of the phone? Correct Answer Rs. 9,180

Given Sapna and Sneha have Rs. 10,000 and Rs.11,000

They want to buy a common gift for their friend and share the cost equally between the two of them

 Cost price of mobile phone = 18,000

The retailer charged an additional 2 percent amount for gift wrapping and delivery

Overall cost of mobile phone = Cost of mobile phone + Delivery charges

Delivery charges = (2 ÷ 100) × 18,000 = Rs 360.

Overall cost of mobile phone = 18,000 + 360

Overall cost of mobile phone = Rs 18,360

Share the overall cost of mobile phone to the Sapna and Sneha equally.

Amount to each of them = Rs 18,360 ÷ 2 = Rs 9,180.

Hence, "Rs 9,180" is the correct answer.

Shortcut Trick

Given cost price Rs 18,000 and additional 2 percent of delivery charge 

Taking Rs 18,000 is 100 percentage and additional 2 percent of delivery charge as a 100 % + 2 % = 102 %

100 % = 18000

102 % =   ?

(18000 ÷ 100 %) × 102 % = Rs 18,360

Amount to each of them = Rs 18,360 ÷ 2 = Rs 9,180
