Answer 2

The discount is Rs. 126 and the selling price is Rs. 1274.

Given,

A wristwatch is available at a discount of 9%. The list price of the watch is Rs 1,400.

To Find,

The discount given and the selling price of the watch?

Solution,

We can solve the question as follows:

It is given that a wristwatch is available at a discount of 9%. The list price of the watch is Rs 1,400. We have to find the discount given and the selling price.

$Discount = 9$%

$Cost\: price = Rs.\: 1400$

The discount given will be equal to 9% of the cost price. Therefore,

$Discount = 9$% $of\: Rs.\: 1400$

               $= \frac{9}{100} *1400$

              $=9*14 = Rs.\: 126$

The discount given is Rs. 126.

Now,

The formula for finding the selling price is:

$Selling\: price = Cost\: price - Discount$

                    $= 1400 - 126$

                    $= Rs.\: 1274$

Hence, the discount is Rs. 126 and the selling price is Rs. 1274.
