Question

The cloth shop has announced a reduction in price by 25%. How many shirts priced at Rs 28 should buy to avail a total reduction of at least Rs 40?

Answer 1

Answer:

At least 6 shirts should be brought to avail a total reduction of Rs 40.

Step-by-step explanation:

The marked price of each shirt = Rs 28

Discount offered = 25%

So, 25% of marked price  28 = $\frac{25}{100}  \times 28 = 7$

⇒Reduction on each shirt is Rs 7

Now, total amount reduction needed = Rs 40

So, number of shirts purchased = $\frac{\textrm{Total reduction needed}}{\textrm{Reduction on each shirt}}$

= 40  Rs /7  Rs  =  5. 71  ≈  6

So, at least 6 shirts should be brought to avail a total reduction of Rs 40.
