Question

the price of a sweater was slashed down by shopkeeper from Rs. 850 to Rs. 731. Find the rate of the discount given by him.

Answer 1

Answer:

Price of the sweater = ₹ 850

Price reduced by the shopkeeper / Discount given by the shopkeeper = ₹731

Solution :

850

- 731

119

Ans: The discount given by the shopkeeper was ₹119

Step-by-step explanation:

First jot down the price of the sweater and price reduced by the shopkeeper

Then we will minus it because the price is reduced

The answer we get is the amount of how much the shopkeeper gave discount / reduced the price

How we get the answer :

O - 1 is not possible so we carry over from the no. 5

When we carry over 0 will become 10

10-1 = 9

Then 5-3 but we will do 4-3 because we carry overed 5 for the no. 0

We carried 1 no. So 5-1= 4

Hence we will do 4-3

4-3=1

Then 8-7

We will directly do it because we didn't carry over from 8

8-7=1

So we write the answer from right to left

10-1=9

4-3=1

8-7=1

Ans: 199
