Answer 2

Given:

Marked Price (MP) = Rs. 1400

Selling Price (SP) = Rs. 1120

What to find?

We have to find discount percentage.

How to find?

First we will find the discount and then the discount percentage.

Solution:

• Finding Discount

Using the formula,

⇒ MP - SP = Discount

Substitute the values,

⇒ Rs. 1400 - Rs. 1120 = Discount

Substract the numbers,

⇒ Rs. 280 = Discount

• Finding discount percentage

Using the formula,

⇒ $\sf{Discount\%=\dfrac{Discount}{MP}\times100}$

Substitute the values,

⇒ $\sf{Discount\%=\dfrac{Rs.\:280}{Rs.\:1400}\times100}$

Cancel the zeros,

⇒ $\sf{Discount\%=\dfrac{28}{14}\times10}$

Divide 28 by 14,

⇒ $\sf{Discount\%=2\times10}$

Multiply 2 by 10,

⇒ Discount % = 20%

∴ Hence, discount percentage is 20 %.

Formula used:

• Discount = MP - SP
• $\sf{Discount\%=\dfrac{Discount}{MP}\times100}$
