Question

marked price of an article is rupees 2000 if 12% discount is given on it . find selling price​

Answer 1

• Selling price is Rs. 1760 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:-

• Market price of article is Rs.2000 .
• Discount percentage is 12% .

To find:-

• Selling price.

Solution:-

• First we will find Discount by using discount percent formula.
• Then we will Use Discount formula for finding selling price.

We know that,

$\boxed{ \star \: \sf \bold{Discount\: percent = \frac{Discount}{Market\: Price} \times 100 }}$

$\longrightarrow \sf 12 = \cfrac{Discount}{20 \cancel{00}} \times 1 \cancel{00}$

$\longrightarrow \sf 12 \times 20 = Discount$

$\longrightarrow \sf 240 = Discount$

Or, Discount = Rs. 240

Discount = Market price - Selling price

$\longrightarrow \sf 240 = 2000 - Selling\: price$

$\longrightarrow \sf Selling\: price = 2000 - 240$

$\longrightarrow \sf \bold{Selling\: price = 1760}$

Therefore,

Selling price is Rs.1760 .
