Given information

  • ↠ Marked prices of a book is Rs.30
  • It is sold at a discount of 15%

What we have to calculate

  • ↠We have to calculate Discount allowed on the book and it's Selling price

How we calculate

  • ↠ Assume a variable (unknown) eg: x or y
  • ↠ According to the given statement setup the equation in terms of x or y
  • ↠solve the equation
  • ↠ After getting the Discount allowed on the book we will subtract Selling price

Let's as assume

  • ↠ The discount allowed on the book is Rs.x

Forming an equation

  • ↠ Sold at a discount added discount allowed on the book equal Marked prices

Therefore

  • ↠ 15% + x = Rs.30

Solving equation

Sold at discount + Discount allowed = Marked prices

  • Submitting values

15% + x = 30

  • 15 % write as 15/100

15/100 + x = 30

  • Transferring sides

15/100 × 30 = x

  • On multiplying

450/100 = x

  • On Dividing 450 by 100

x = 4.5

The discount allowed on the book is 4.5%

Now finding Selling price

As we know Selling price = Marked price - Discount allowed

➻ Selling price = 30 - 4.5

  • On subtracting

Selling price = 25.5

The Selling price of book is Rs.25.5 and discount allowed on the book is 4.5%
