Answer :

$\sf\pink{Given:}$

• Marked price is Rs 40 .

• Selling price is Rs 32 .

$\sf\pink{To\:find:}$

• Discount %

$\longrightarrow\sf{ 8}$

• Therefore discount is Rs 8 .

$\\ \sf\red{Discount\percent = \dfrac{Discount}{Marked\:price}\times 100}$

$\\ \longrightarrow\sf{\dfrac{8}{40}\times 100}$

$\\ \longrightarrow\sf{\dfrac{800}{40}}$

$\\ \longrightarrow\sf{ 20}$

• Therefore the discount % is 20% .
