Two shopkeepers sell the same article at the same price for the same quantity. One gives $25\%$ discount; the other offers $25\%$ more quantity at the same price. From a customer's view, which is better?
Show Hint
"More quantity at same price" $\Rightarrow$ divide price by the quantity factor to get the effective price per unit.
- 1st shopkeeper's deal
- 2nd shopkeeper's deal
- both are equal
cannot be determined
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
Take ₹100 for 4 units, so ₹25 per unit.
- Deal 1 (25% discount): pay ₹75 for the same 4 units \(\Rightarrow\) ₹18.75 per unit.
- Deal 2 (25% more quantity): pay ₹100 for 5 units \(\Rightarrow\) ₹20 per unit.
Since ₹18.75 is less than ₹20 per unit, the first shopkeeper's deal is better for the customer.
