Given:

Marked price of shirt = ₹2,200

Discount on credit card payment = 6%

Marked price of coat = ₹7,500

Discount on instant payment = 12%

Formula used:

Discounted price = Marked price - (Marked price × Discount rate)

Calculation:

Discount on shirt = ₹2,200 × 6% = ₹2,200 × 0.06 = ₹132

Discounted price of shirt = ₹2,200 - ₹132 = ₹2,068

Discount on coat = ₹7,500 × 12% = ₹7,500 × 0.12 = ₹900

Discounted price of coat = ₹7,500 - ₹900 = ₹6,600

Total amount billed = ₹2,068 + ₹6,600 = ₹8,668

∴ The correct answer is option 1.
