(b) the amount of discount.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

marked price = 9000

discount = 1125

Step-by-step explanation:

Discount 12.5 %

100 - 12.5 = 87.5

if it is sold at 87.5 the marked price will be 100

100×7875÷87.5 = 9000

discount will be 9000-7875 = 1125

Answer 2

Answer:

a) $90

b) $11.25

Step-by-step explanation.

Selling price = $78.75

Discount = 12.5%

100-12.5 = 87.5

a) 100 × $78.75 ÷ 87.5 = $90

b) $90 - $78.75 = $11.25
