Answer 2

Answer: 8%

Step-by-step explanation:

      Here,

                          Marked Price(MP)= Rs. 975

                          Selling Price(SP)= Rs. 897

                         Discount%=?

We know that,

                        Discount%= {(Discount amount)/ Marked Price} x 100%

                                           = {(MP-SP)/MP} X 100%

                                           ={(975-897)/975} X 100%

                                           = (78/975) X 100%

                                           8%

∴ 8% discount is allowed.
