Questions & Answers

Q: What discounts did each friend receive while shopping?

All three friends received a baseline discount of 10% on their purchases. However, since Chandni and Chanchal were regular customers, they were entitled to an additional 20% discount on the already discounted price. Chand, as a new customer, did not qualify for this extra discount.

Q: How much did each friend end up paying for their juicers?

Chand paid 1,800 rupees, which is the result of the 10% discount on a 2,000 rupee market price. Chandni paid 1,440 rupees after both the 10% and additional 20% discounts. Chanchal, due to her membership card, ended up paying 1,080 rupees after her 10%, 20%, and 25% discounts.

Q: How did the friends compare their spendings?

After their purchases, it was noted that Chandni paid 360 rupees more than Chanchal. This led to calculating the difference in their final amounts, revealing insights into how varying discounts impacted their payments.

Q: What is the market price of the juicers?

The market price set for each juicer was established at 2,000 rupees. This price was fundamental to calculating discounts for each individual and understanding the financial outcome of their purchases.

Q: How is the percentage of total money paid calculated?

To find the percentage of total money paid by the friends relative to the total market price, one must sum the individual payments made for the juicers, then divide by the total market price of all three juices, and multiply by 100 to convert it into a percentage.

Q: What amount remained with Chand after his purchase?

After purchasing the juicer for 1,800 rupees from the 2,500 rupees he initially had, Chand had 700 rupees remaining. This amount indicates how much he had left after making his purchase.

Q: Why is it important to track the discounts while calculating the final price?

Tracking discounts is crucial as they are applied successively rather than additively; misunderstanding this can result in incorrect calculations of the final price each friend needs to pay.
