Question

a bicycle marked 1500 is sold for 1350 what is percentage of discount

Answer 1

GIVEN:

• Marked price of bicycle = Rs. 1500
• Selling price = Rs. 1350

TO FIND:

• What is the percentage of discount ?

SOLUTION:

If the marked price of bicycle is Rs 1500 and Selling price of bicycle is Rs 1350, then

$\bf\red{ Discount = Marked \: price - Selling \: price }$

According to question:-

$\sf{\rightharpoonup D = 1500 - 1350}$

$\bf\red{\rightharpoonup \: \star \:D = Rs. 150\: \star}$

➟ Discount = Rs. 150

Now, we have to find the Discount % of bicycle

To find the Discount% of bicycle, we use the formula:-

$\bf\red{D \% = \large\frac{Discount \times 100}{Marked\: Price }}$

According to question:-

$\sf{\rightharpoonup D \% = \large\frac{150 \times 100}{1500 }}$

$\sf{\rightharpoonup D \% = \large\frac{150}{15 }}$

$\bf\red{\rightharpoonup \: \star \:D \% = 10 \% \: \star}$

❛ Hence, the Discount % of bicycle is 10% ❜

Answer 2

Given that ,

Marked price (MP) = Rs 1500

Selling price (SP) = Rs 1350

As we know that ,

$\star \: \sf \: Discount = MP - SP \\ \\ \star \: \: \sf Discount \: \% = \frac{Discount}{MP} \times 100$

Substitute the known values , we get

$\sf \Rightarrow Discount = 1500 - 1350 \\ \\ \sf \Rightarrow</p><p>Discount = 150$

and

$\sf \Rightarrow Discount \: \% = \frac{150}{1500} \times 100 \\ \\\sf \Rightarrow Discount \: \% = \frac{150}{15} \\ \\\sf \Rightarrow Discount \: \% = 10\%$

$\therefore \sf \bold{ \underline{The \: discount \: percent \: is \: 10 \: \% }}$
