Question

An article marked $Rs.800$ is sold for $Rs.704$. Find the discount and discount percent.

Answer 1

M.P of article = $800$ Rs
S.P of article = $704$ Rs
Discount $=$ M.P. - S.P.
$=800-704=96$ Rs

Discount % = $\frac{\text{Discount amount}}{M.P}\times 100$.
Discount % = $\frac{96}{800}\times 100=12$%.
