Question

Example 4: The list price of a frock is * 220.
A discount of 20% is announced on sales. What is the amount
of discount on it and its sale price.​

Answer 1

Answer:-

• Discount on it is Rs. 44

• Sale price is Rs. 176

• Given:-

List price (Marked Price) = Rs. 220

Discount percentage = 20%

• To Find:-

Discount on it = ?

Sale Price = ?

• Case 1:

Formula:-

$\pink{\bigstar}$ $\boxed{Discount \%[D \%] = \dfrac{Discount [D]}{Marked \: Price [M.P]} \times 100}$

→ 20 = $\dfrac{D}{220} \times 100$

→ D = $20 \times \dfrac{220}{100}$

→ D = $\bf{44}$

Hence, the discount is Rs. 44

• Case 2:

• Formula:-

$\pink{\bigstar}$ $\boxed{Discount [D] = Marked Price [M.P] - Sale Price <strong>[</strong><strong>S.P</strong><strong>]</strong>}$

→ 44 = 220 - S.P

→ S.P = 220 - 44

→ S.P = 176

Hence, the sale price is Rs. 176

Therefore,

• The discount on it is Rs. 44

• The Sale price is Rs. 176
