​

Answer 1

• Discount percentage is 20%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:-

• Market price of an article is Rs. 1400 .
• Selling price of article is Rs. 1120 .

To find:-

• Discount percentage.

Solution :-

We know that,

$\boxed{ \star \: \sf \bold{Discount\: percentage = \cfrac{Discount}{Market\: price} \times 100 }}$

Market price = Rs. 1400 .

• We do not have discount. So, by using discount formula, Discount will be :

Discount = Market price - selling price

= 1400 - 1120

= 280

Discount = Rs. 280.

Put, Discount and market price in formula :

$\longrightarrow \sf \bold{ \cfrac{280}{14 \cancel{00}} \times 1\cancel{00}}$

$\longrightarrow \sf \bold{ \cfrac{280}{14} }$

$\longrightarrow \sf \bold{20}$

Therefore,

Discount percentage is 20%.
