Answer 1

Question:

If a shop keeper sells an article marked at 30000 for 28500 then, the discount percent is?

Answer:

The discount percent is 5%.

Given:

Marked price(M.P.) of the article = 30000

Selling price(S.P.) of the article = 28500

To find:

The discount rate.

Explanation:

M.P. = 30000

S.P. = 28500

∴ Discount = (30000-28500)

                    = 1500

∴ Discount rate _

$( \frac{1500}{30000}$ ×  100)

= (1500×100/30000)

= (1500/300)

= 5%.

∴ The discount rate is 5%.

Answer 2

Answer:

• The discount percent = 5%

Given :

• Marked Price (M. P) = 30000

• Selling Price (S. P) =28500

To find :

• The discount percent =?

Step-by-step explanation:

Discount = (M. P - S. P)

= (30000 - 28500)

= 1500

Now,

Discount % = (discount /M.P) x 100

Substituting the values in the above formula, we get :

=(1500/30000) x 100

= (1500/300)

= 15/3

= 5.

Hence,

The discount percent = 5%
