Answer 1

Q. A shirt marked ₹125 was sold for ₹100. The rate of discount on the marked price was  :

A) 12.5%  

B) 15%  

C) 20%  

D) 25%

Answer : Option (c) 20 %

→ Explanation :

Marked price = 125

Selling price = 100

Discount = $\frac{125 - 100}{125} \times 100$

               = $\frac{25}{125} \times 100$

                = 20%

∴ The rate of discount on the marked price was 20%.

Answer 2

Given marked price = 125 and selling price = 100.

We know that Discount = Marked price - selling price

= > 125 - 100

= > 25.

Rate of discount = (Discount/marked price) * 100

= > (25/125) * 100

= > (2500/125)

= > 20%.

Therefore, the final answer is Option (C) - 20%.

Hope this helps!
