Answer 1

➤ Given :-

Marked price of jacket :- ₹ 2590

Selling price of jacket :- ₹ 2331

➤ To Find :-

Discount percentage of the jacket

➤ Formula required :-

${\large \tt \dashrightarrow \orange{\boxed{\tt \gray{\dfrac{Discount}{Cost \: price} \times 100}}}}$

➤ Solution :-

First, we should find the value of the discount in numerical format by subtracting the cost price and the selling price

Discount :-

${\tt \longrightarrow 2590 - 2331}$

${\tt \longrightarrow Rs \: \: 259}$

Now,

Discount percentage :-

${\tt \longrightarrow \dfrac{259}{2590} \times 100}$

${\tt \longrightarrow \cancel \dfrac{259}{2590} \times 100 = \dfrac{1}{10} \times 100}$

${\tt \longrightarrow \dfrac{1 \times 100}{10} = \dfrac{100}{10}}$

${\tt \longrightarrow \cancel \dfrac{100}{10} = \boxed{\tt 10 \bf\%}}$

$\Huge\therefore$ The discount percentage of the jacket is 10%.

Given :

• MP = Rs.2,590
• SP = Rs.2,331

To Find :

• Discount Percentage

Solution :

Analysis :

Here first we have to find the discount. Then from that discount we can find the discount percentage.

Required Formula :

• Discount = MP - SP

• Discount% = (Discount/MP) × 100

where,

• SP = Selling Price
• MP = Marker Price

Explanation :

Discount :

We know that if we given the selling price and the marked price and is asked to find the discount then our required formula is,

Discount = MP - SP

where,

• MP = Rs.2,590
• SP = Rs.2,331

Using the required formula and substituting the required values,

⇒ Discount = MP - SP

⇒ Discount = Rs.(2590 - 2331)

⇒ Discount = Rs.259

∴ Discount = Rs.259.

Discount% :

We know that if we given the discount and the marked price and is asked to find the discount% then our required formula is,

Discount% = (Discount/MP) × 100

where,

• Discount = Rs.259
• MP = Rs.2590

Using the required formula and substituting the required values,

⇒ Discount% = (Discount/MP) × 100

⇒ Discount% = (259/2590) × 100

⇒ Discount% = (1/10) × 100

⇒ Discount% = (1/1) × 10

⇒ Discount% = 10

∴ Discount% = 10%.

The discount percentage is 10%.
