Store A Discount Calculation
The jacket is marked at a price (MP) of ₹12,000.
Store A offers two successive discounts: 15% and 10%.
Calculate the price after the first discount (15%): $12000 \times (1 - \frac{15}{100}) = 12000 \times (1 - 0.15) = 12000 \times 0.85 = 10200$
Calculate the price after the second discount (10%) on the reduced price: $10200 \times (1 - \frac{10}{100}) = 10200 \times (1 - 0.10) = 10200 \times 0.90 = 9180$
The final selling price at Store A is ₹9,180.
Store B Discount Calculation
Store B offers two successive discounts: 10% and 15%.
Calculate the price after the first discount (10%): $12000 \times (1 - \frac{10}{100}) = 12000 \times (1 - 0.10) = 12000 \times 0.90 = 10800$
Calculate the price after the second discount (15%) on the reduced price: $10800 \times (1 - \frac{15}{100}) = 10800 \times (1 - 0.15) = 10800 \times 0.85 = 9180$
The final selling price at Store B is ₹9,180.
