Answer 2

$\bf \: \underline{Given} :$ ↴

$\sf \: Discount = 12 \: \%$

$\sf \: Marked \: price = Rs. \: 1425$

$\bf \: \underline{To \: find} :$ ↴

$\sf \: We \: have \: to \: find \: the \: selling \: price \: (S.P)$

$\bf \: \underline{\underline{So, \: Let's \: Start}}$

$\sf \: As \: we \: know \: that,$

$\underline{\boxed{ \pink{\sf{S.P=\dfrac{100 \: \%-D \: \%}{100 \: \%}\times\:M.P}}}}$

$\sf \: Where,$

$\bull \implies\sf \: S.P = Selling \: price$

$\bull \: \sf \implies \: D \: \% = Discount$

$\bull \implies \: \sf M.P = Marked \: price$

$\underline{ \sf Now, \: putting \: the \: values}..$

$\longmapsto \: \sf{S.P=\dfrac{100 -12}{100 \: }\times\:1425}$

$\longmapsto \: \sf{S.P=\dfrac{88}{100 \: }\times\:1425}$

$\longmapsto \: \sf{S.P=\dfrac{88}{4 }\times\:57}$

$\longmapsto \: \sf{S.P= \: \dfrac{88\times57}{4}}$

$\longmapsto \: \sf{ \dfrac{88\times57}{4}} \: = 1254$

$\underline{ \boxed{ \red{\sf \: So, \: the \: selling \: price = Rs. \: 1254}}}$
