Question

a discount of 5% is given on a garment that is marked Rs. 850
How much is the discount amount?

Answer 1

discount price=5/100 multiply by 850
=42.5
discount amount=marked price - discount price
=850-42.5
=807.5
807.5 rs you give to the shopkeeper

Answer 2

5 percent discount on the the marked price of Rs.850
so 5/100×850
1/20×850
1/2×850
=Rs.42.5 =discount on Rs.850
so the amount of selling price=850-42.5
S.P=Rs.807.5
