Answer 1

$\red{\textbf{Answer :- (a)127.5 , (b) 37.5}}$%

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

$\red{\textbf{Given :-}}$

$Marked \: price =150$

$Discount =15\%$

$\red{\textbf{To find :-}}$

$the \: \: amount \: to \: be \: paid.$

$\red{\textbf{So,}}$

$s.P=M.P–Discount$

$= 150 - \frac{15}{100} \times 150$

$S.P=127.5$

$Actual \: amount \: to \: be \: paid \: is \:  Rs.127.5$

(b)$\red{\textbf{Given :-}}$

$cost \: price \: is \: Rs. 400$

$selling \: price \: = 550$

$\red{\textbf{To find :-}}$

$profit \: or \: loss \: percentage$

$\red{\textbf{So,}}$

$Gain = S.P. - C.P.$

$= Rs.550 - Rs.400$

$= \: Rs \: . 150$

$now,$

$Gain \% = (gain × 100)/C.P.$

$= (150 × 100)/400$

$= 37.5\%$
