Answer:

Explanation:

To calculate the amount Aditi needs to pay, we need to apply the discounts step by step based on the given offer.

Step 1: 20% discount on all products

The marked price of the goods is Rs 2400. Applying a 20% discount means she will get a reduction of 20% of the marked price.

20% of Rs 2400 = (20/100) * Rs 2400 = Rs 480

After the first discount, the new bill amount is Rs 2400 - Rs 480 = Rs 1920.

Step 2: Additional 20% discount on the bill amount if it exceeds Rs 1000

The new bill amount after the first discount is Rs 1920. If this amount exceeds Rs 1000, Aditi will get a further discount of 20% on this bill amount.

Since Rs 1920 is greater than Rs 1000, we can apply a 20% discount to it.

20% of Rs 1920 = (20/100) * Rs 1920 = Rs 384

The final amount Aditi needs to pay after both discounts is Rs 1920 - Rs 384 = Rs 1536.

Therefore, Aditi needs to pay Rs 1536.
