Answer 2

The 15% discount amount will be Rs 75 and the discounted price will be Rs 425

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

discount rate = 15%

marked price (list price) = Rs 500

To find:

amount of discount

Solution:

The discount amount is always calculated on the list or marked price

The formula for discount amount is- the rate of discount X marked price

here, rate of discount= 15%, marked price=Rs 500

∴ Discount= 15% x 500

∴ Discount= $\frac{15}{100} (500)$

∴ Discount= $\frac{7500}{100}$

∴ Amount of discount= Rs 75

The discounted price will be marked price- the amount of discount

= 500-75

discounted price =Rs 425

Thus, the discount will be Rs 75
