Question

A shirt with marked price Rs 800 is sold at a discount of 15% find the selling price​

Answer 1

• List price (marked price) of an article = Rs 800 Discount percentage = 15 % Discount = 15 % of 800 = 15/100 x 800 = Rs 120 Selling price of the article = List price - Discount = 800 - 120 = Rs 680 Profit = 40/3 % Cost price = Selling price x (100) / (100 + g) = 680 x (100) / (100 + 40/3) = 680 x (300) / (340) = 600 The cost price of the article = Rs 600.

Answer 2

Given : Market price(MP) = Rs 800

             Discount = 15 %

To Find : Selling price(SP)

Solution :  $\frac{SP}{MP} = 1 - \frac{Discount }{100}$

                 $SP = (1 - \frac{Discount}{100}) * MP$

                 $SP = ( 1 - \frac{15}{100} ) *800$

                  $SP = (0.85) * 800$

                  SP = Rs 680
