Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

A customer buys two items for $120 each. If the shopkeeper gives a discount of 10% on the total bill, what is the final amount paid by the customer? (2023)
  • Step 1: Calculate the total cost of the two items. Each item costs $120, so multiply 2 by $120.
  • Step 2: Total cost before discount = 2 * $120 = $240.
  • Step 3: Calculate the discount amount. The discount is 10% of the total cost, so multiply $240 by 10% (or 0.10).
  • Step 4: Discount = 10% of $240 = $240 * 0.10 = $24.
  • Step 5: Subtract the discount from the total cost to find the final amount paid by the customer.
  • Step 6: Final amount = $240 - $24 = $216.
