A shopkeeper charges rs 0.50 to print a SHEET of paper. However, he gives a discount of 2% on all photocopies done after FIRST 1000 sheets. How much will it cost to COPY 5000 sheets of paper?

Solution:

Cost of printing a sheet of paper = Rs. 0.50

5% discount is allowed on all photocopies done after first 1000 sheets.

Cost of printing 5000 sheets will be:

First 1000 sheets @ rate of Rs. 0.50 and the rest at a discount of 5%.

1000 * 0.50 = Rs. 500

Discount is 4000 * 0.50 * 5/100 = Rs. 100

So total cost for 4000 sheets printing = (4000 * 0.50) - 100 = Rs. 1900.

Total cost of printing 5000 sheets = 500 + 1960 = Rs. 2400
