Question

An item marked at Rs $250$ is sold at Rs $230$. What is the discount and discount percent ?

Answer 1

Marked price $=$ Rs. $250$

Selling price $=$ Rs. $230$

Discount $=$ Marked price $-$ Selling price

$=250-230$

$=$ Rs. $20$

Discount Percentage $=\frac{\text{Discount}}{\text{marked price}}\times 100$

$=\frac{20}{250}\times 100$

$=8\%$

Discount is Rs. $20$ and discount percent is $8\%$
