Given
- Selling price of an item = Rs 300 /-
- Discount offered = Rs 100 /-
To find
- Discount percent
Solution
- M.P = S.P + D
Where :-
- M.P = Marked price
- S.P = Selling price
- D = Discount
Substituting , we get :-
- M.P = 300 + 100
- M.P = 400
Hence, the marked price is Rs 400 /-
Now, let's find the discount percentage with the formula :-
- D % = Discount × 100 / Marked price
- D % = 100 × 100 / 400
- D % = 10000 / 400
- D % = 25
Hence, the discount percent is 25 %
