Answer:

The rate of the discount given by him is 10%

Step-by-step explanation:

Question says that, A price of a furniture is slashed from 50,000 to 45,000 by a shopkeeper. Find the rate of the discount.

Step 1 : Finding the discount :

Discount is given by :

→ C. P. - S. P.

→ 50,000 - 45,000

→ ₹5,000

Step 2 : Finding the discount% :

Discount% is given by :

→ $\sf \dfrac{discount \times 100}{C. P.}$

→ $\sf \dfrac{5,000 \times 100}{50,000}$

→ ${\red{\sf{10\%}}}$

Key words :

• C. P. = cost price
• S. P. = selling price.

Related formulae :

• Loss = C. P. - S. P.
• Loss% = $\sf \dfrac{loss \times 100}{C.P.}$

• Profit = S. P. - C. P.
• Profit% = $\sf \dfrac{profit \times 100}{C.P.}$
