Question

The marked price of a washing machine = rs 42,500 and is available at discount for 5% find the selling price

Answer 1

Answer:

If a discount of 5% is available on a washing machine with a marked price of Rs 42500, then its selling price will be Rs 40375

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The marked price of the washing machine = Rs 42,500

Discount percentage = 5%

Let us take x as the selling price of the washing machine

Then,

Discount percentage = [ ( marked price - selling price )/marked price] *100

$5 = \frac{42500-x}{42500} *100\\\\5 = \frac{42500-x}{425} \\\\5*425 = 42500-x\\\\x = 42500-2125\\\\x =40375$

So, the selling price is Rs 40375
