Question

a fan is marked at rs 625. During the winter season the shopkeeper allows discount and sells the fan for rs 562.50. find the discount percent allowed?

Answer 1

mp of fan=rs 625
sp of fan =rs 562.50

discount= mp-sp
              =rs. 625-562.50
              =rs 62.50
discount%= actual discount/mp*100
                =62.50/625*100
               = 10%

Answer 2

discount rupees=625-562.50=63.5
discount percent=diff/original price×100
=63.5/625×100
=10.16
