Answer 2

Answer:

The discount on an item was $15$%.    

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Marked price of an item = Rs. $1200$

          Selling price of an item = Rs. $1020$

To find : Percentage discount =?

Solution :

• It is given that the marked price of an item = Rs. $1200$

          Selling price of an item = Rs. $1020$

• We have to find the percentage discount given.
• To find the percentage discount, we have to first find the discount.
• Discount is the difference between marked price and selling price.
• So,

        Discount = Marked price - Selling price

                      = $1200-1020$

                      = Rs. $180$

• Now, the formula for percentage discount is given by,

             % Discount = $\frac{Discount}{Marked price} *100$

                              = $\frac{180}{1200} *100$

                              = $\frac{18000}{1200}$

                              = $15$%

• ∴ The discount on an item was $15$%.
