Question

the marked price of mixture is 2300 rs. . a customer purchased it for rs. 1955 find the percentage of discount offered to customer ?????

Answer 1

Marked Price ( abbreviated as MP ) = ₹ 2,300
Selling Price ( abbreviated as SP ) = ₹ 1,955

For finding out discount percentage, we must find the discount first.

Discount = MP - SP
Discount = ₹ 2,300 - ₹ 1,955
Discount = ₹ 345

Now,

Discount percentage = ( Discount / MP ) * 100
Discount Percentage = ( 345 / 2300 ) * 100
Discount Percentage = ( 69 / 460 ) * 100

On solving further,

Discount Percentage = 15 %
