Question

Umatai purchased following items from a Khadi – Bhandar. 

i. 3 sarees for Rs 560 each. 

ii. 6 bottles of honey for Rs 90 each. 

On the purchase, she received a rebate of 12%. How much total amount did Umatai pay?

Answer 1

i. Here, number of sarees = 3, 

Price of each saree = Rs 560 

∴ Cost of 3 sarees = 560 × 3 

= Rs 1680 …(i) 

ii. Also, number of honey bottles = 6, 

Price of each bottle = Rs 90 

∴ Cost of 6 honey bottles = 90 × 6 = Rs 540 ... (ii)

Total amount of purchase = cost of 3 sarees + cost of 6 honey bottles 

= 1680 + 540 … [From (i) and (ii)] 

= Rs 2220 …(iii) 

Rate of rebate = 12% Rebate = 12% of total amount of purchase

= (12/100) x 2220

= 12 × 22.20

= Rs 266.40 ..(iv) 

Amount paid by Umatai 

= Total amount of purchase – Rebate 

= 2,220 – 266.40 … [From (iii) and (iv)] 

= Rs 1953.60 

∴ The total amount paid by Umatai is Rs 1953.60.
