Question

12 An article is marked at $940. If it is sold for 799, then find the discount percent.​

Answer 1

Answer:

$15$% discount is given on an article.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Marked price of an article = $ $940$

          Selling price of an article = $ $799$

To find : Percentage discount ?

Solution :

• It is given that the marked price of an article = $ $940$

                           Selling price of an article = $ $799$

• We have to find the percentage discount given on an article.
• To find percentage discount, first find the discount.
• So,    

        Discount = Marked price - Selling price

                      = $940-799$

                      = $$141$

• Now,

       % Discount = $\frac{141}{940} *100$

                         = $\frac{14100}{940}$

                         = $15$%

• ∴  $15$% discount is given on an article.
