Answer 1

Q. If marked price of an article is ₹1200 and the discount is 12% ,then the selling price of the article is __?

Solution :

Given, Marked Price of an article = ₹ 1200
Discount % = 12%

Discount = Discount % on marked price
Discount = 12/100 × 1200
Discount = ₹ 144

Selling Price = Marked price - Discount
Selling price = ₹ 1200 - ₹ 144 = ₹ 1056


Hence, Selling price of the article is ₹ 1056.

Answer 2

The selling price of the article is Rs. 1056

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

the marked price of an article is Rs. 1200

discount is 12%

To find:

the selling price of the article

Solution:

As we know

Discount is always given on the marked price

Here, the discount rate is 12%

∴ Discount amount = 12% on 1200

∴ Discount amount = 12/100 X 1200

∴ Discount amount = Rs. 144

The discount amount is Rs.144

Thus, the selling price will exclude the discount amount

∴ Selling Price = Marked price - Discount amount

∴ Selling Price = 1200 - 144

∴ Selling Price = Rs. 1,056

Thus, the price of the article is Rs. 1,056
