• B. Discount =800 , Discount% = 20%
• C. Discount =860 , Discount% = 10%
• D. Discount =900 , Discount% = 15%

Answer 1

The correct option is A Discount =800 , Discount% = 10%

Marked price (M.P) = 8000
Selling Price (S.P) = 7200
Discount = M.P - S.P = 8000-7200 = 800 (Answer)
Discount % = $\frac{Discount}{MarkedPrice}\times 100$ = $\frac{800}{8000}\times 100$ = 10% (Answer)
