Question

A mobile costs Rs. 4500. Shop X offers a discount of 1/5th of the price and Shop Y offers 3/15 of the price. Analyze which shop offers a better discount

Answer 1

X & Y offer the same discount of 900

Explanation:

`(1)/(5) = (3)/(15)`

In this scenario, both shops offer the same discount.

`4500( 1 - (1)/(5) ) = 3600 \\ \\ 4500(1 - (3)/(15) ) = 3600`
