Question

an item market at rupees 1240 for rupees 992 what is the discount and discount percent​

Answer 1

Given :

The marked price of an item = Rs. 1240

Selling price = Rs. 992

To Find :

Discount and discount percentage

Solution :

To find the discount we will subtract the selling price from marked price.

Discount = Marked price - Selling price

              = 1240 - 992

              = 248 Rs.

Discount percentage = $\frac{Discount}{\text{marked price}}\times 100$

=  $\frac{248}{1240}\times 100$

= 0.2 × 100

= 20%

The discounted price on the item is Rs. 248 and the discount percentage is 20%.
