Answer 1

Answer:

This is a 15% discount.

Hope this helps.

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of the discount is

960 - 816 = 144

As a percentage of the original price, this is

144 / 960

= 0.15

= 0.15 × 100%

= 15%

Answer 2

The question states that the price of the sweater was reduced from 960 to 816 and we have to find the discount.

Let's say if the original price of the sweater was ₹960 and the shopkeeper sold it in ₹816 then the discount to be calculated will be equal to the original price minus the selling price.

Discount = ₹960- ₹816 = ₹144

In this way the discount is calculated and we realise that the shopkeeper gave the discount of ₹144 to the customer.

Hence ,

Discount = Original price - selling price = ₹960-₹816 =₹144.

Hence the required discount is ₹144.
