Answer 2

Given:

Marked Price (MP) = Rs. 3750

Selling Price (SP) = Rs. 3200

What To Find:

We have to find the discount percentage.

How To Find:

To find the discount percentage we will

• Find the amount of discount
• Then discount percentage

Solution:

• Finding the discount

Using the formula,

⇒ MP - SP = Discount

Substitute the values,

⇒ Rs. 3750 - Rs. 3200 = Discount

Subtract the values,

⇒ Rs. 550

• Finding the discount percentage

Using the formula,

⇒ $\sf{Discount\:\% = \dfrac{Discount}{Marked\:Price} \times 100}$

Substitute the values,

⇒ $\sf{Discount\:\% = \dfrac{Rs.\:550}{Rs.\:3750} \times 100}$

Cancel the zeros in 3750 and 100,

⇒ $\sf{Discount\:\% = \dfrac{550}{375} \times 10}$

Multiply 550 by 10,

⇒ $\sf{Discount\:\% = \dfrac{5500}{375}}$

Divide 5500 by 375,

⇒ $\sf{Discount\:\% = \dfrac{44}{3}\%}$

Convert it in mixed fraction,

⇒ $\sf{Discount\:\% = \dfrac{44}{3}\:\% = 14 \dfrac{2}{3}\:\%}$

∴ Therefore the discount percentage is $14 \dfrac{2}{3}\:\%$.
