Question 70(ii)

Find discount per cent when
MP = Rs. 900 and SP = Rs. 873

Answer 1

Marked price (MP) = Rs. 900
Selling price = Rs. 873
$\because$ Discount = Marked price - Selling price = Rs. 900 - 873 = Rs. 27
$\therefore$ Discount % = $\frac{Discount}{Markedprice}\times 100=\frac{27}{900}=\times 100=\frac{27}{9}=3\%$
