Question

An article is marked at rs 1500 and 16percentage discount is offered on it how many such articles can be brought for rs 30240

Answer 1

cost of article = rs 1500
discount =16%
price of article after discount = 1500* 16/100
= rs 240
cost after discount = 1500 - 240
= 1260 rs
let the artical sold be x
total cost of article sold = 30240 rs
1260*x. = 30240rs
x =30240/1260
x=24
therefore 24 article will be sold out of rs 30240

Answer 2

Discount is offered on it = 16/100×1500
= 16 × 15
= 240
Article rs after discount
= 1500- 240
= 1260
How many articles can be brought= 30240/ 1260
= 24
