a.amount paid for the items.
b.Discount enjoyed. work it as a mathematician
a) To find the amount paid for the items, we need to calculate the discounted price for each item and then add them all together.
The discounted price for the 24 inch television set is given by:
Discounted price = Marked price - (Marked price * 4/100)
Discounted price = 1200 - (1200 * 4/100)
Discounted price = 1200 - (48)
Discounted price = 1152
The discounted price for each laptop is given by:
Discounted price = Marked price - (Marked price * 6/100)
Discounted price = 3250 - (3250 * 6/100)
Discounted price = 3250 - (195)
Discounted price = 3055
The total amount paid for the items is:
Total amount paid = Discounted price of television + (Discounted price of laptop * 2)
Total amount paid = 1152 + (3055 * 2)
Total amount paid = 1152 + 6110
Total amount paid = 7262
Therefore, the total amount paid for the items is GHC 7,262.00.
b) To find the discount enjoyed, we need to calculate the difference between the marked price and the discounted price of each item and then add them all together.
The discount enjoyed for the 24 inch television set is:
Discount = Marked price - Discounted price
Discount = 1200 - 1152
Discount = 48
The discount enjoyed for each laptop is:
Discount = Marked price - Discounted price
Discount = 3250 - 3055
Discount = 195
The total discount enjoyed is:
Total discount = Discount of television + (Discount of laptop * 2)
Total discount = 48 + (195 * 2)
Total discount = 48 + 390
Total discount = 438
Therefore, the total discount enjoyed is GHC 438.00.
