दुसऱ्या दिवशी स्वतःच्या उपयोगाचे सर्वात स्वस्त पुस्तक खरेदी करण्यासाठी ती नेमकी रोकड घेऊन दुकानात गेली. तेथे सर्व पुस्तकांंची 20% टक्के कमी दराने विक्री सुरू होती. म्हणून तिने जवळ असलेल्या पैशांमधून स्वतःच्या उपयोगाचे सर्वात किमती पुस्तक घेतले. आयेशाकडे उरलेली रक्कम निवडा.

दीपक, ₹ 36,000 किंमत असलेली स्कूटर विकतो. तो पहिल्या 20,000 रुपयांवर 8% सूट देतो. आणि नंतरच्या 10,000 रुपयांवर 5% सूट देतो. पूर्ण रकमेवर 7% सूट देऊन मिळणाऱ्या रकमेइतकी रक्कम मिळवण्यासाठी राहिलेल्या 6,000 रुपयांवर त्याने किती सूट द्यावी ? Deepak sells a scooter priced at ₹ 36,000. He gives a discount of 8% on the first ₹ 20,000 and 5% on the next ₹ 10,000. How much discount should he offer on the remaining ₹ 6,000 if he is to allow 7% discount on the total ?
Total price = ₹36,000. Total discount at 7% = 7% of 36000 = ₹2520. Discount on first 20000 = 8% = ₹1600. Discount on next 10000 = 5% = ₹500. Remaining discount needed = 2520 - (1600 + 500) = ₹420 on remaining ₹6000. Percentage = (420/6000)*100 = 7%.
जेव्हा एक जागा ₹ 18,700 ना विकली, तेव्हा त्या मालकाचे 15% नुकसान झाले. ती जागा किती किंमतीला विकायला पाहिजे होती, म्हणजे 15% नफा झाला असता ? When a plot is sold for ₹ 18,700, the owner loses 15%. At what price must that plot be sold in order to gain 15% ?
First, find the cost price (CP) of the plot by taking 85% = ₹ 18,700, so CP = 18700 / 0.85 = ₹ 22,000. Then calculate the selling price for a 15% profit: 22,000 * 1.15 = ₹ 25,300.
