Question

the cost of a saree was rupees 500 If the shopkeeper allows a discount of 20% on the saree what is the cost of saree after discount

Answer 1

this is the correct answer for question

Answer 2

SOLUTION :-

The cost of the saree = Rs 500

The discount given on saree = 20%

To be found :-

The cost of the saree after discount

Before we have to find the amount subtracted from saree, that is 20% of Rs 500

So,

20% of Rs 500

= $\frac {20}{100} \times 500$

= Rs 100

So,

Rs 100 was subtracted from Rs 500

Cost of the saree after discount

= Rs 500 - Rs 100

= Rs 400

Hence,

The cost of the saree after the discount is Rs 400
