Question

The market price of a sofa set is RS 16000. due to Diwali discount it is sold for RS 14000. What is the per cent on it​

Answer 1

Answer :-

Discount % is 12.5 %.

Solution :-

Marked Price of sofa set (MP) = Rs. 16000

Selling price of sofa set (SP) = Rs. 14000

We know that

Discount = MP - SP

= 16000 - 14000

= 2000

Discount on sofa set = Rs. 2000

We know that

Discount % = Discount/MP * 100

= 2000/16000 * 100

= 2/16 * 100

= 200/16

= 12.5 %

Therefore the discount % is 12.5 %.

Answer 2

Answer : Discount Percentage= 12.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

The market price of a sofa set is RS 16000. due to Diwali discount it is sold for RS 14000.

To Find :

The discount percentage.

Solution :

Marked price = Rs 16000

Sold at = Rs 14000.

Finding Discount :

Discount = Marked price - Selling Price

Discount = 16000 - 14000

Discount = 2000

Finding Discount Percentage :

Discount Percentage =

(Discount/Marked price) x 100

=> 0.125 x 100

=> 12.5 %

Hence, Discount Percentage = 12.5%
