To quote Ralphie from "A Christmas Story",
"A crummy commercial? "
Its called Math Story Problems
To solve this problem and calculate the discounts and net prices, let's break down each customer's purchases and apply the discounts accordingly.
i. Businessman:
- Bought a Mudrah spa kit on credit.
- Bought a Lipgloss worth 958php and a 2011 make-up set collection worth 3695php and paid cash for these items.
Since the businessman paid cash, he is eligible for a 10% discount on these items.
Discount for Lipgloss = 958php * 10% = 95.8php
Discount for make-up set = 3695php * 10% = 369.5php
Net price for Lipgloss = 958php - 95.8php = 862.2php
Net price for make-up set = 3695php - 369.5php = 3325.5php
ii. Old Lady:
- Bought a foundation light cream worth 1500php and a lipstick worth 675php for her daughter.
- Bought an organic shampoo worth 350php, an organic conditioner worth 455php, and a 3 in 1 eye liner brush worth 995php for her niece.
- Bought a set of brushes worth 2500php and a Mudra Spa Kit for herself, paying 2000php on credit and the rest in cash.
Discount for foundation light cream = 1500php * 10% = 150php
Discount for lipstick = 675php * 10% = 67.5php
Discount for organic shampoo = 350php * 10% = 35php
Discount for organic conditioner = 455php * 10% = 45.5php
Discount for 3 in 1 eye liner brush = 995php * 10% = 99.5php
Discount for set of brushes = 2500php * 10% = 250php
Net price for foundation light cream = 1500php - 150php = 1350php
Net price for lipstick = 675php - 67.5php = 607.5php
Net price for organic shampoo = 350php - 35php = 315php
Net price for organic conditioner = 455php - 45.5php = 409.5php
Net price for 3 in 1 eye liner brush = 995php - 99.5php = 895.5php
Net price for set of brushes = 2500php - 250php = 2250php
