Anand bought jeans at the marked price of Rs.1,200 and a coat at the marked price of Rs.4,500. How much does he have to pay if he pays through an HDFC Bank card?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

 The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. Rs.4,920.

Anand pays through HDFC bank then he will not get the discount of 5%

Anand bought jeans at the marked price of Rs.1,200

Discount on Jeans = 20%

He pays for jeans = 1200 × 80% = Rs.960

Anand bought the coat at the marked price of Rs.4,500

Discount on the coat = 12%

He pays for the coat = 4500 × 88% = Rs.3960

The total amount paid by Anand = Rs. (3960 + 960) = Rs.4920
