Answer 1

Answer:

The price a customer has to pay if he gets $15$% discount is Rs. $42.50$.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Marked price = Rs. $50$

             Discount = $15$%

To find : The price a customer has to pay if he gets $15$% discount = ?

Solution :

• It is given that Marked price = Rs. $50$

                           Discount = $15$%

• We have to find the price a customer has to pay if he gets $15$% discount.
• We have to first calculate discount amount.

     Discount = $15$% of marked price

                   = $\frac{15}{100} *50$

                   = $\frac{15*50}{100}$

                   = $\frac{750}{100}$

                   = Rs. $7.50$

• Now, the price a customer has to pay = Marked price - Discount

                                                       = $50-7.50$

                                                       = Rs. $42.50$

• ∴ The price a customer has to pay if he gets $15$% discount is Rs. $42.50$.
