Question

The marked price of a mixer is 2300 rupees. A customer purchased it for Rs.1955. Find percentage of discount offered to the customer.

Answer 1

Marked price = Rs 2300

Selling price = Rs 1955

Discount = 2300 - 1955 = Rs 345

Discount percent = Discount × 100 / Marked price

= 345 × 100 / 1955

= 6900 / 391

= 300 / 17

= 17.64 %

Answer 2

Answer:

percentage of discount offered to the customer = 15 %

Step-by-step explanation:

The marked price of a mixer is 2300 rupees. A customer purchased it for Rs.1955. Find percentage of discount offered to the customer.

Marked price of the Mixer = rs 2300

Let say discount offered to customer = D %

Then Discount = (D/100) * 2300 = 23D

Selling Price = Marked Price - Discount

=> Selling Price = 2300 - 23D

Customer Purchased it for Rs 1955

=> 2300 - 23 D = 1995

=> 23D = 345

=> D =  15 %

percentage of discount offered to the customer = 15 %
