Answer 1

Given

• Marked price of shirt = Rs.940
• Rate of discount = 15%

To find

As we know that

→ Discount = Marked price × discount % /100

→ Discount = 15/100 × 940 = Rs.141

Selling price = Marked price - Discount

Selling price = 940 - 141 = Rs.799

Hence,

• Discount = Rs.141
• Seling price = Rs.799
