Answer 1

Hey Pretty Stranger!

$\large \bold \red{ \sf \: Here \: you \: go! }$

$\bullet \sf \: Marked \: Price =Rs \: 900$

$\bullet \sf \: Selling \: Price =Rs \: 850$

$\star \: \boxed { \purple {\sf \: Discount = M.P. - S.P}}$

$\implies \sf \:Rs \: 900 - 850$

$\implies \sf \boxed{ \red{ \sf \: Rs \: 50}}$

$\star \: \boxed{ \purple{ \sf \: Discount\% = \frac{Discount}{M.P } \times 100}}$

$\implies \sf \: \: \dfrac{50}{900} \times 100$

$\implies \sf \: \: \cancel\dfrac{5000}{900}$

$\implies \sf \boxed{ \red{ \sf \: 5.55 \: \% \: }} \: (Approx)$

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

$\huge\underline\purple{\sf Given :-}$

• Marked price of item is Rs 900
• Selling price of item is Rs 840

To find : Discount % on whole transaction

Solution:

We know that Discount = Marked Price – Selling Price

$\small\implies{\sf }$ Discount= Rs(900 – 840) = Rs 60

† Discount % = (Total Discount/ Marked Price x 100) %

$\small\implies{\sf }$ (60/900 x 100)%

$\small\implies{\sf }$ (60/9)%

$\small\implies{\sf }$ 6.67%
