A store is running a scheme for offering a discount of 12% if the customer pays instantly, and a discount of 6% if purchased through a credit card. The benefit of the scheme may be split on the amount of payment; however, only one discount shall be given on one item. There is no discount on any other type of transaction. Ankur purchased a shirt from the store, whose marked price was ₹2,200, through credit card and paid instantly for the purchase of a coat marked at ₹7,500. What was the total amount (in ₹) billed?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. 8668.
Shirt paid by credit card → 6% discount on ₹2,200
Discount = = ₹132
Amount = 2200 − 132 = ₹2068
Coat paid instantly → 12% discount on ₹7,500
Discount = = ₹900
Amount = 7500 − 900 = ₹6600
Total bill paid = 2068 + 6600 = ₹8668
