Question

an almirah of market price rs 4000 is sold for rs 3700 after allowing certain discount find the rate of discount
and please solve easy method

Answer 1

Market price = rs 4000
Selling price = rs 3700

Therefore,

Discount = 4000 - 3700
Discount = 300 rs

Now, Rate of discount

$rate \: of \: discount = \frac{discount}{market \: price} \times 100$

$rate \: of \: discount = \frac{300}{4000} \times 100$

$rate \: of \: discount = \frac{30}{4}$

$rate \: of \: discount = 7.5\%$

Answer:- rate of discount = 7.5%

Answer 2

$\bf{Given}$:
Marked Price (M.P) of the Almirah is ₹ 4000
Selling Price (S.P) of the Almirah is ₹ 3700

$\mathbb{TO\: \: BE \: \:FOUND }$:
Discount %

$\bf{\underline {SOLUTION }}$:

Discount = M.P - S.P

Discount = 4000 - 3700

Discount = ₹ 300

Now,

Discount % = $\frac{Discount}{M.P}$ × 100

Discount % = $\frac{300}{4000}$ × 100

Discount % = 7.5%

Hence, the discount % = 7.5 %
