Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

Given:-

Marked price was Rs 5000

but sold in Rs 4200

that is

5000-4200=800

so the discount was of Rs 800

and now we've to find what % of 5000 is 800

by using the formula

$\frac{800}{5000} \times 100 \\ \frac{8}{5} \times 10 \\ \frac{80}{5} \\ = 16$

therefore the discount was of 16%

let's check whether it's correct or not

$\frac{16}{100} \times 5000 = 800 \\ 16 \times 50 = 800 \\ 800 = 800$

L.H.S=R.H.S

hence verified

hope it helps
