Question

An article marked at Rs. 8000 is sold for Rs. 7200. Find the discount and discount percent?

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

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Discount = Rs. 800 , Discount% = 10%

Given, marked price (M.P) = Rs. 8000
And selling Price (S.P) = Rs. 7200

Discount = Marked price - Selling price
= Rs. 8000 - Rs. 7200 = Rs. 800

Discount % = $\frac{Discount}{MarkedPrice}\times 100$
= $\frac{Rs.800}{Rs.8000}\times 100$ = 10%
