Question

A table marked at Rs.15000 is available for Rs.14400. What is the percentage of discount?

• A. 4
• B. 10
• C. 40
• D. 60

Answer 1

The correct option is A

4

Marked price is the normal price of an article or thing without a discount.

The price at which the article is sold is called selling price.

Discount = Marked price - Selling price

Discount = $\frac{Markedprice-Sellingprice}{Markedprice}\times 100$
Discount = $\frac{15000-14400}{15000}\times 100$

= $\frac{600}{15000}\times 100=4\%$

Hence, the discount is 4%
