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: $ 44, $ 176

Step-by-step explanation:

List price of frock = $ 220

Discount Percentage = 20%

Therefore, Discount price = Discount Percentage × List Price of frock

⇒ $\frac{20}{100}$ × $ 220

⇒ $ 44

Discount Price = $ 44

Now, Sale Price = List Price - Discount Price

⇒ $ 220 - $ 44

⇒ $ 176

Sale Price = $ 176

List (Marked) Price of the frock = 220, Rate of discount =20%

100

20

=220−44

= 176.
