Answer 1

Answer:

Given :-

• The marked price of a pair of shoes is Rs 1250 and the rate of discount is 5%.

To Find :-

• What is the sale price.

Formula Used :-

${\red{\boxed{\small{\bold{Sale\: Price =\: \dfrac{100 -\: Discount\%}{100} \times Marked\: Price}}}}}$

Solution :-

Given :

• Discount = 5%
• Marked Price = Rs 1250

According to the question by using the formula we get,

⇒ $\sf Sale\: Price =\: \dfrac{100 - 5}{100} \times 1250$

⇒ $\sf Sale\: Price =\: \dfrac{95}{10\cancel{0}} \times 125{\cancel{0}}$

⇒ $\sf Sale\: Price =\: \dfrac{95}{10} \times 125$

⇒ $\sf Sale\: Price =\: \dfrac{11875}{10}$

➠ $\sf\bold{\purple{Sale\: Price =\: Rs\: 1187.50}}$

$\therefore$ The sale price of shoes is Rs 1187.50.

Answer 2
