Answer 1

Correct Question:

• The list price of a frock is 220. A discount of 20% on sales is announced. What is the amount of discount on it and its selling price?

Given:

• The list price of a frock is 220. A discount of 20% on sales is announced.

Need To Find:

• The amount of discount on it and its selling price ?

Solution:

Here,

• List price (Marked Price) of the frock = 220
• Rate of discount = 20%

As we know that,

⋆ Discount % = (Discount ÷ Marked Price) × 100

Putting the values,

➜ 20 = (Discount ÷ 220) × 100

➜ (20 × 220) ÷ 100 = Discount

➜ Discount = 44

Now,

⋆ Discount = Marked Price - Sale Price

Putting the values,

➜ 44 = 220 - Sale Price

➜ Sale Price = 220 - 44

➜ Sale Price = 176

Therefore,

• Discount = Rs. 44
• Sale Price = Rs. 176

Given :-

• The list price of a frock is Rs 220. A discount of 20% is announced on sale.

To Find :-

• What is the amount of discount on it and it's sale price.

Formula Used :-

To find discount we know that,

★ Discount % = (Discount/List Price) × 100 ★

To find sale price we know that,

✯ Sale price = List Price - Discount ✯

Solution :-

Given :

• List price = Rs 220
• Discount % = 20%

To find discount percentage,

According to the question by using the formula we get,

⇒ 20 = Discount/220 × 100

⇒ Discount = 20 × 220/100

⇒ Discount = 4400/100

➠ Discount = 44

∴ The amount of discount is Rs 44 .

Now, we have to find the sale price,

Given :

• List price = Rs 220
• Discount = Rs 44

According to the question by using the formula we get,

↦ Sale price = Rs 220 - Rs 44

➦ Sale price = Rs 176

∴ The amount of sale price is Rs 176 .
