Question

Answer 1

Answer:

$\boxed{\text{Discount}\%=\bf 15\%}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The marked price of a mixer is given as $2300$ rupees.

The cost price of a mixer is given as $1955$ rupees.

The amount of discount offered to the customer is calculated as shown below:

$\boxed{\begin{aligned}\text{Discount}&=2300-1955\\&=345\end{aligned}}$

This implies that the customer got a discount of $345$ rupees.

The discount percentage is calculated as shown below:

$\boxed{\begin{aligned}\text{Discount}\%&=\dfrac{345}{2300}\times 100\\&=15\end{aligned}}$

Therefore, the customer got a discount of $\boxed{\bf 15\%}$ on marked price.

Answer 2

Answer:

Given:

Marked Price = Rs 2300

Selling Price = Rs 1955

By using the formula,

Discount = Marked Price – Selling Price

= 2300 – 1955

= Rs 345

Now, let us consider the percentage of discount as x.

Then,

x/100 = Discount/Marked Price

x/100 = 345/2300

x = (345 × 100)/2300

= 15

∴ The percentage of discount offered is 15%.
