During a festival sale, the cost of an object is ₹ 870 on which 20% is off. The same object is available at other shops for ₹ 975 with a discount of 20/3%. Which is a better deal and by how much?
The cost of the object = ₹ 870
Discount = 20% of ₹ 870 =20/100 × 870 = ₹ 174
Selling price = ₹ 870 – ₹ 174 = ₹ 696
The same object is available at other shop = ₹ 975
Discount = 20/3% of Rs 975
= 20/3 × 1/100 × 97 = Rs
Selling price = ₹ 975 – ₹ 65 = ₹ 910
Since ₹ 910 > ₹ 696
Hence, deal at first shop is better and by ₹ 910 – ₹ 696 = ₹ 214
