Question

an Almira of marked price Rs 4000 is sold for Rs 3700 after allowing certain discount. find the rate of discount

Answer 1

Mp=4000
Sp=3700
Discount=Mp-Sp
=4000-3700
=300
Rate of discount=x℅ of 4000=300
$\frac{x}{100} \times 4000 = 300 \\ \frac{4000x}{100} = 300 \\ x = \frac{300 \times 100}{4000} \\ x = \frac{30}{4} = \frac{15}{2} \%$
