Solution

Step 1: Calculate the discount on each item

For the pressure cooker: The original price is Rs. 1200. The discount is 30%. So, the discount amount is 30/100 * 1200 = Rs. 360.

For the rice cooker: The original price is Rs. 2000. The discount is 35%. So, the discount amount is 35/100 * 2000 = Rs. 700.

Step 2: Calculate the total discount

The total discount is the sum of the discount on the pressure cooker and the discount on the rice cooker. So, the total discount is 360 + 700 = Rs. 1060.

Step 3: Calculate the total original price

The total original price is the sum of the original price of the pressure cooker and the original price of the rice cooker. So, the total original price is 1200 + 2000 = Rs. 3200.

Step 4: Calculate the percentage saved

The percentage saved is the total discount divided by the total original price, multiplied by 100. So, the percentage saved is (1060 / 3200) * 100 = 33.125%.

So, Chaya saved 33.125% of the total of the original prices.
