Question: The price of a pair of sneakers was Tk. 80 for the last six months of last year. On January first, the price increased 20%. After the price increase, an employee bought these sneakers with a 10% employee discount. What price did the employee pay?

Solution:
Original price = Tk. 80
Price increased by 20%.

∴ Increased price = 80 × (120/100)
= 96

Employee discount = 10%
So employee paid 90% of 96.

Paid price = 96 × (90/100)
= 96 × (9/10)
= 86.40

Final Answer: ঘ) 86.40
