Answer 1

Given :-

• An Almirah of marked Price Rupees 4,000

• An Almirah is sold for Rupees3,700

Solution :-

Here, Firstly we will have to find discount then discount percentage.

We have,

Marked Price = Rs 4,000

Selling price = Rs 3,700

As we know that,

Discount = MP - SP

Put the required values in the given formula,

Discount = 4000 - 3700

Discount = 300

Now,

For calculating discount %

Discount % = Discount / MP * 100

Put the required values,

Discount % = 300 / 4000 * 100

Discount % = 300 / 40

Discount % = 30/4

Discount % = 7.5%

Hence, The rate of discount is 7.5$.$

• MP = SP + Discount price

• SP = MP - Discount price

• Loss% = Loss / CP * 100

Answer 2

${\underline{\underbrace{\tt{Understanding \: \: the \: \: concept}}}}$

Here we are given an almirah whose market price is Rs. 4000. This almirah is sold for Rs. 3700 after allowing a certain discount. We have to find the rate of this discount.

★FORMULA USED:-

$\tt{Rate \: \: of \: \: Discount \: = \: \frac{Discount}{Market \: \: Price } \times 100}$

$\tt{Discount \: = \: Market \: price \: - \: Selling \: Price}$

★GIVEN:-

• Market price -- Rs. 4000

• Selling price --- Rs. 3700

★TO FIND:-

• Rate of discount

★SOLUTION:-

Discount = Market price - Selling price

Discount = 4000-3700

$: \implies{ \boxed{ \underline{ \pink{ \mathbb{Discount \: \: = \: \: Rs. \: 300}}}}}$

Therefore, we got the discount on almirah is Rs. 300. Now we know that,

$\tt{Rate \: \: of \: \: Discount \: = \: \frac{Discount}{Market \: \: Price } \times 100}$

By simplifying, we get

$\tt{Rate \: \: of \: \: Discount \: = \: \frac{30}{4}\%}$

$\tt{Rate \: \: of \: \: Discount \: = \: \mathbb \purple{7.5\%}}$

★TO CROSS CHECK:-

Suppose our Market Price is m.p. and Selling Price is s.p. as we know that Selling price is price after the discount of say x% in Market price,

therefore, we get

$\tt{ \: (M.P.) - x \% \: of \: (M.P.) \: = \: S.P.}$

By putting the value of M.P. = Rs. 400 and Discount is 7.5%

$\longrightarrow \tt{S.P. = (4000) -(7.5\% \: of \: 4000)}$

By simplifying,

$: \longrightarrow \: \tt{S.P. \: = \: (4000) \: - \: (300)}$

Therefore,

S.P. = Rs. 3700

So, our answer is correct.
