The problem describes a situation where an electrical shop offers discounts on refrigerators. Brand X originally costs RM990, and after the discount, Seroja buys it for RM1265. This looks like a typo. Brand Y originally costs RM1020, and Kamala buys it for RM1635. This is also a typo. It seems Seroja bought Brand X for RM690 (RM990 - RM690 = RM300) and Kamala bought Brand Y for some amount, but we are told Kamala bought Brand Y for RM1635. The question asks who gets the higher discount. Let's assume the discount value for Brand X is not negative, which it can't be based on the word usage. Therefore Seroja's price should be RM690 instead of RM1265. Similarly, let's assume Kamala bought Brand Y for RM635 (RM1020 - RM635 = RM385) instead of RM1635.

2. Solution Steps

First, calculate the discount amount for Brand X.

Discount Amount = Original Price - Discounted Price.

$Discount_X = 990 - 690 = 300$

Next, calculate the discount percentage for Brand X.

Discount Percentage = (Discount Amount / Original Price) *

$Discount\_Percentage\_X = (300/990) * 100 = 30.30$%

Now, calculate the discount amount for Brand Y.

$Discount_Y = 1020 - 635 = 385$

Next, calculate the discount percentage for Brand Y.

$Discount\_Percentage\_Y = (385/1020) * 100 = 37.75$%

Compare the discount percentages. Since 37.75% > 30.30%, Kamala gets a higher discount.

Given the real numbers though:

Discount Brand X: 990 - 1265 = -

Discount Percentage Brand X: (-275 / 990) * 100 = -27.78%

Discount Percentage Brand Y: (-615 / 1020) * 100 = -60.29%

Using the correct numbers, Kamala gets the greater negative discount.

3. Final Answer

Assuming Seroja bought Brand X for RM690 and Kamala bought Brand Y for RM635, Kamala gets the higher discount.

However, with the original numbers of Seroja buying Brand X for RM1265 and Kamala buying Brand Y for RM1635, Kamala gets the higher (negative) discount.
