A merchant announces 25% discount on the price of a shirt. If one needs to have a total rebate of ₹875 and the price of each shirt is ₹250, then how many shirts should the person purchase?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
Discount of each shirt = \(\frac{25}{100}\) × 250 = 62.5 rupees
He wants a total of 875 rupees as a discount.
No. of shirts × 62.5 = 875
No. of shirts = \(\frac{875}{62.5}\) = 14
