Question

Find the rate of discount being given on a trouser whose selling price is $546 after giving a discount of $ 104 on its marked price

Answer 1

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%

Answer 2

Solutions :-


We have,

Selling price = $ 546
Discount = $ 104

Find the marked price of trouser :-

Marked price = S.P + discount
= $ 546 + $ 104
= $ 650


Find the rate of discount :-

Rate of discount = (discount × 100)/M.P %
= (104 × 100)/650 %
= 10400/560 %
= 16%


Answer : Rate of discount = 16%
