There is a 15% discount on 8 shirts, marked at Rs 9,600. How many shirts can be bought with Rs 5,100?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. 5

Understanding Application

Marked price of 8 shirts = 9600

When 15% off is given:

Selling price

= 9600/100 × 85

= Rs. 8160

Now,

Selling price of 1 shirt = 8160/8 = 1020

Hence,

Number of shirts that can be bought with Rs 5,100

= 5100/1020 = 5
