Correct answer: B
Step-by-Step Solution
To calculate the total money saved, we must find the total discount amount applied to the initial bill.
Calculate Initial Bill:
Dilshan bought books worth 520, 450, and 250.
Initial Bill = 520 + 450 + 250 = 1220.
Calculate First Discount (10% on all books):
First Discount = 10% of 1220 = 0.10 * 1220 = 122.
Remaining Bill after first discount = 1220 - 122 = 1098.
Calculate Second Discount (5% on initial bill condition):
The problem states an additional 5% on the initial bill if it is greater than or equal to 1000. Since 1220 >= 1000, the condition applies.
Note on interpretation: Based on the options and the solution, the second discount is calculated on the remaining bill amount after the first discount.
Second Discount = 5% of 1098 = 0.05 * 1098 = 54.9.
Calculate Total Savings:
Total Savings = First Discount + Second Discount
Total Savings = 122 + 54.9 = 176.9.
