Cost estimated on painting and flooring together
$$\eqalign{ & = \text{Rs. } \frac{15+14}{100}\times120000 \cr & = \text{Rs. } \frac{29}{100}\times120000 \cr & = \text{Rs. 34800} \cr} $$
2
What is the difference in the amount estimated by the family on interior decoration and that on architect’s fee?
Discuss
Answer & Solution
$$\eqalign{ & \text{Required Difference} \cr & = \text{Rs. } \frac{19-11}{100}\times120000 \cr & = \text{Rs. } \frac{8}{100}\times120000 \cr & = \text{Rs. 9600} \cr} $$

The family gets a discount on furniture and pays 12% less than the estimated cost on furniture. What is the amount spent on furniture?
Discuss
Answer & Solution
$$\eqalign{ & \text{Amount spent on furniture} \cr & = \text{Rs. } \frac{88}{100}\times\frac{13}{100}\times120000 \cr & = \text{Rs. 13728} \cr} $$
4
Other than getting the discount of 12% on the estimated cost of furniture and actual miscellaneous expenditure being Rs. 10200 instead of the estimated one, the family's estimated cost is correct. What is the total amount spent by the family in renovating its house?
Discuss
Answer & Solution
Estimated cost of furniture and miscellaneous expenditure
$$\eqalign{ & = \text{Rs. } \frac{13+8}{100}\times120000 \cr & = \text{Rs. } \frac{21}{100}\times120000 \cr & = \text{Rs. 25200} \cr & \text{Actual cost of furniture} \cr & = \text{Rs. } \frac{88}{100}\times\frac{13}{100}\times120000 \cr & = \text{Rs. 13728} \cr} $$
Actual cost of furniture and miscellaneous expenditure
  = Rs. (13728 + 10200)
  = Rs. 23928
Total amount spent in renovating the house
  = Rs. (120000 - 25200 + 23928)
  = Rs. 118728
