Answer 1

Hey

Solution : The marked price of an article = Rs. 80 Sold price of the article = Rs. 72 We know that,

Selling price = Marked price – Discount

Discount = Marked price – Selling price

Discount = Rs.80-Rs.72 = Rs.8

Discount % = 8/80*100 = 10%

Therefore the rate of discount =10%

Please make me brain list if the solution helped u

Answer 2

discount = 80-72
=Rs.8

let discount percent be d
d%of 80=8
d/100 * 80= 8
d * 8= 8*10
8d=80
d=10
therefore, the rate of discount is 10%
