Answer 1

Given:

A table with

• Marked Price (MP) = Rs. 15000
• Selling Price (SP) = Rs. 14600

What To Do:

We have to find the discount percentage.

How To Do:

To find the discount percentage we will

• First, find discount of the table.
• Then, find the discount percentage.

Solution:

• Finding the discount

Using the formula,

⇒ MP - SP = Discount

Substitute the values,

⇒ Rs. 15000 - Rs. 14600 = Discount

Subtract the amount,

⇒ Rs. 400

• Finding the discount percentage

Using the formula,

⇒ $\sf{Discount\:\% = \dfrac{Discount}{Marked\:Price}\times 100}$

Substitute the values,

⇒ $\sf{Discount\:\% = \dfrac{Rs.\:400}{Rs.\:15000} \times 100}$

Cancel the zeros in 15000, 100 and 40,

⇒ $\sf{Discount\:\% = \dfrac{40}{15}}$

Divide 40 by 15,

⇒ Dicount % =  $2\dfrac{2}{3}$ % = 2.66 %

∴ Therefore the discount percentage is 2.66%.
