There is a 20% discount on a dozen pairs of shoes marked at ₹7,200. How many pair of shoes can be bought with ₹1,440?

Options:

3

5

2

4

Correct Answer:

20% = \(\frac{1}{5}\)

MP of 12 shoes = 7200

SP of 1 shoes = \(\frac{7200}{12}\) × \(\frac{4}{5}\) = 480

In rupees 480 one pair of shoes can be bought

and in rupees 1440 , 3 pairs of shoes can be bought.
