Question

The marked price of a toaster is ₹ 2500 ,due to diwali discount, it is sold for ₹ 2300. What is discount per cent on it​

Answer 1

Given :

• Marked price of the toaster = ₹2500.
• Selling price of the toaster = ₹2300.

To find :

• the discount percent

Solution :

➝ Let's find the discount on the toaster.

→ Discount = Marked Price - Selling Price

→ Discount = 2500 - 2300

→ Discount = 200

• Therefore, the discount on the toaster is ₹200.

➝ Now, let's find the discount percent on the toaster.

→ Discount percent = (Discount/Marked Price) × 100

→ Discount percent = (200/2500) × 100

→ Discount percent = 200 × 100/2500

→ Discount percent = (20000/2500)

→ Discount percent = (200/25)

→ Discount percent = 8

• Therefore, the discount percent on the toaster is 8%.

Answer 2

Given :

• Marked Price = Rs.2500
• Selling Price = Rs.2300

$\rule{200pt}{3pt}$

To Find :

• Discount % = ?

$\rule{200pt}{3pt}$

Solution :

~ Formula Used :

• Discount :

$\large{\pink{\dashrightarrow}} \: {\underline{\boxed{\red{\sf{ Discount = Marked \: Price - Selling \: Price }}}}}$

• Discount % :

$\large{\pink{\dashrightarrow}} \: {\underline{\boxed{\red{\sf{ Discount \: \% = \dfrac{Discount}{Marked \: Price} \times 100 }}}}}$

$\\ \qquad{\rule{150pt}{1pt}}$

~ Calculating the Discount :

$:\longmapsto{\qquad{\sf{ Discount = Marked Price - Selling Price }}}$

$:\longmapsto{\qquad{\sf{ Discount = ₹ \: 2500 - ₹ \: 2300 }}}$

${\qquad{\textsf{ Discount on the Toaster = {\green{\sf{ ₹ \: 200 }}}}}}$

$\\ \qquad{\rule{150pt}{1pt}}$

~ Calculating the Discount % :

$:\longmapsto{\qquad{\sf{ Discount \: \% = \dfrac{Discount}{Marked \: Price } \times 100 }}}$

$:\longmapsto{\qquad{\sf{ Discount \: \% = \dfrac{200}{2500 } \times 100 }}}$

$:\longmapsto{\qquad{\sf{ Discount \: \% = \dfrac{20000}{2500 } }}}$

$:\longmapsto{\qquad{\sf{ Discount \: \% = \cancel\dfrac{20000}{2500 } }}}$

${\qquad{\textsf{ Discount \: \% \: of \: the \: Toaster \: = {\orange{\sf{ 8 \: \% }}}}}}$

$\\ \qquad{\rule{150pt}{1pt}}$

❝ Discount % on this Toaster is 8 % . ❞
