To calculate how much money a man can save by buying these items with a 15% discount, you need to follow these steps:
1. Calculate the individual savings for each item:
- For the bag: Saving = Cost of the bag * Discount percentage = Rs2500 * 0.15 = Rs375
- For the shaving set: Saving = Cost of the shaving set * Discount percentage = Rs890 * 0.15 = Rs133.5
- For the iron: Saving = Cost of the iron * Discount percentage = Rs2800 * 0.15 = Rs420
2. Total the savings from all the items:
- Total savings = Saving from the bag + Saving from the shaving set + Saving from the iron
- Total savings = Rs375 + Rs133.5 + Rs420 = Rs928.5
Therefore, the man can save Rs928.5 by purchasing the bag, shaving set, and iron with a 15% discount.
