Answer 2

Answer:

Discount percent = 12%

Step-by-step explanation:

Marked price of an article (m.p) = Rs 1300

Selling price (s.p) = Rs1144,

Let the discount = d

$s.p = m.p\left(\frac{100-d}{100}\right)$

$\implies 1144 = 1300\left(\frac{100-d}{100}\right)$

$\implies 1144 = 13\left(100-d\right)$

$\implies \frac{1144}{13}=100-d$

$\implies 88 = 100-d$

$\implies d = 100-88$

$\implies d = 12\%$

Therefore,

Discount percent = 12%
