The discount is 20% on cooler.

Answer 2

Hey user

Here is your answer :-

Selling price ( S.P. ) = Rs.2800

Marked price ( M.P. ) = Rs.3500

Total discount = M.P. - S.P.

= 3500 - 2800

= Rs.700

So the total discount is " Rs.700 ".

$discount \: percent \: = \frac{total \: discount}{mp} \times 100 \\ \\ = \frac{700}{3500} \times 100 \\ \\ = 20$

So the discount percent is " 20 " .

Thank you.
