amount he paid is Rs.1,600, find the rate of discount offered.

Answer 1

Answer:

the answer is 20% discount offer

Answer 2

Answer:

Solution:

S.P. = Rs.1,600 and Rate of discount

= 20%

Let M.P. be Rs.100, then S.P. for customer

= 100 – 20 = Rs.80

\because∵ When S.P. is Rs.80, then M.P. = Rs.100

\therefore∴ When S.P. is Rs.1, then M.P. = \frac{100}{80}

80

100

\therefore∴ When S.P. is Rs.1600, then M.P.

= \frac{100}{80}\times1600=Rs.\ 2000

80

100

×1600=Rs. 2000
