Answer 1

Given:

Marked price = Rs. 5,000

Initial discount = 10%

Cash payment discount = 10%

Concept:

The final price after two discounts is Marked Price × (1 - initial discount) × (1 - cash discount).

Solution:

⇒ Final price = Rs. 5,000 × (1 - 10/100) × (1 - 10/100)

⇒ Final price = Rs. 4,050

Hence, the customer paid Rs. 4,050 to Akshit.
