There is a rebate of 15% on amount up to Rs. 300 and a discount of 20% on the remaining amount exceeding Rs. 300 if electric bills are paid in time. A man got a rebate of Rs. 64 by paying the bill in time. His electric bill was (Assuming the total bill was above Rs. 300)1). Rs. 3652). Rs. 3853). Rs. 3954). Rs. 375

Answer»

LET the total bill be Rs. X

Now as there is a REBATE of 15% on amount up to Rs. 300 and a discount of 20% on the remaining amount EXCEEDING Rs. 300 and rebate is Rs. 64

∴ 15/100 × 300 + 20/100 × (X – 300) = 64

∴ 45 + 0.2X – 60 = 64

∴ 0.2X – 15 = 64

∴ 0.2X = 79

∴ X = 395 Rs.
