Question

find the rate of discount being given on a shirt whose selling price is rs 546 deducting a discount of rs 104 on its marked price

Answer 1

Given
Selling price=sp=Rs546
Discount=Rs104
Marked price=mp=sp+discount
=546+104
=650
Sp=mp(100-d)/100
(sp*100)/mp =100-d
(546×100)/650=100-d
After cancellation
86=100-d
d=100-86
d=14%

Answer 2

Solutions :-

Given :

Selling price = $ 546

Discount on its marked price = $ 104

Find the marked price of trouser :-

M.P = S.P + discount

= $ (546 + 104)

= $ 650

Now,

Find the rate of discount given on trouser :-

$Rate \: of \: discount = \frac{disount}{M.P} \times 100\% \\ \\ = \frac{104}{650} \times 100\% \\ \\ = 16\%$

Hence,

The rate of discount given on a trouser is 16%
