Mina and Puala wanted to buy gifts for their parents. Mina bought a coffee machine at $1305 after a 13% discount. Puala bought the same coffee machine at $1335. What was the percentage discount given to Puala?

Answer 1

Answer:

11%

Step-by-step explanation:

i. Mina :-

M.P. = x

S.P. = $1305

Discount = 13%

x(1 - 13/100) = 1305

x × 87/100 = 1305

x = 1500

Marked Price of the machine = $1500

ii. Puala :-

M.P. = $1500, S.P. = $1335, Discount = x%

1500(1 - x/100) = 1335

1 - x/100 = 0.89

-x/100 = -0.11

x = 11
