Answers:
(A) 15 (B)20 (C)45 (D)30 (E)78

Answer 1

`(C)45%`

Explanation:

For each blouse purchased, the owner gives a `15%` discount.

We can say that, the customer will pay for `85%` for each blouse.

Buying `3` blouses, the customer pays a total of `255%` of the money for each blouse with the discount.

But without, the discount, the customer will pay a total of `100%*3=300%` of the money for each blouse for `3` blouses.

Now, we can subtract.

`300%-255%=45%`

So, our option is `(C)45%`.
