Answer 1

discount percentage=12.5%
And discount amount = 12.5%of 6500
= ₹ 812.5

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of dress = Rs. 6500.00

Vat @ 12.5 % = Rs 812.50

Gross amount = Rs 6500.00 + 812.50 = Rs.7312.50

But she Actual paid = Rs. 6500

Discount = Rs 7312.50 - 6500.00 = Rs 812 .50

Discount in % = Rs 812.50 /7312.50 * 100

=11.11%
