• Percent of discount is 15%.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find:-

• Percent of Discount.

Solution:-

Given that,

The Market price of book is Rs.360 which was sold for Rs.306 .

Market price is Rs.360 .

Selling price is Rs.306 .

Discount = Market price - Selling price

• Discount is the price or amount reduced from the normal Selling price of something

• Market price is original or we can say normal price of something.

• Selling price is the price by which something is selled.

$\longrightarrow$ 360 - 306

$\longrightarrow$ 54

Discount is Rs.54.

$\boxed{\bold{\star \: Discount\: percent = \cfrac{Discount}{M.P} \times 100}}$

[Here, M.P is Market price]

Putting, Discount and Market price in formula :

$\longrightarrow$ 54/360 × 100

$\longrightarrow$ 5400/360

$\longrightarrow$ 15

Therefore,

Percent of discount given is 15%.

Answer 2

Given :

• Marked price = Rs 360

• Selling price = Rs 306

To Find :

• find the percent of discount given .

Solution :

Discount = 360 - 306

Discount = Rs 54

• We have to calculate the percentage of discount the shop keeper has given before selling the book.

Hence, the percentage of discount = (Discount/ Marked price) × 100%

Substitute all values :

Discount percent = 54 × 100 / 360

Discount percent = 54 × 10 / 36

Discount percent = 540 / 36

Discount percent = 15 %

• Hence the answer is 15%
