Answer 2

Given:

Selling price = Rs 600

Marked price = Rs 800

To find:

Discount Percentage

Solution:

It is given that the selling price is Rs 600 and the marked price is Rs 800.

Finding Discount:

Discount = Marked price - Selling price

Discount = 800 - 600

Discount = 200

Finding Discount Percentage:

The formula of Discount percentage is:

$= > \dfrac{Discount}{Marked \: price} \times 100$

$= > \dfrac{200}{800} \times 100$

$= > \dfrac{200}{8}$

$= > 25\%$

Hence, the discount percentage is 25%
