Steps: 2 Mark
Price before discount:1 Mark
Selling price: 1Mark
Given that,
Radhika bought a new mobile phone and saved 1000 when a discount of 10% was given.
We can infer from the above statement that 10% of theoriginal price= 1000
10% of the original price = 1000
Let the price be P.
10%of P = 1000
10100×P = 1000
P=1000×10010
P = 10000
Hence the original price of the mobile phone is 10000.
Now, the original price of the mobile phone is 10000.
Discount given = 1000
The Selling price or the price at which the phone was sold = Original Price - Discount
On substituting the values we get:
Selling Price = 10000 - 1000 = 9000
Hence, the mobile phone was sold at 9000.

Amount = ₹ 1200 + ₹ 432
Amount = ₹ 1632
₹ 1632 has to be paid at the end of three years.
