Question

Find the rate of discount when M.P. $=$ Rs. $975$ and S.P. $=$ Rs. $650$.

• A. $33\frac{1}{3}\%$
• B. $33\frac{2}{3}\%$
• C. $33\frac{4}{3}\%$
• D. $33\frac{5}{3}\%$

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

$33\frac{1}{3}\%$

Discount $=$ M.P. $-$ S.P.

$=$ Rs. $975-$ Rs. $650=$ Rs. $325$
$\therefore$ Discount $\%=$ $(\frac{\text{Discount}}{\text{M.P.}}\times 100)\%$

$=(\frac{325}{975}\times 100)\%$

$=\frac{100}{3}$ $\%=$ $33\frac{1}{3}\%$
