Question

Marked price of a pen is Rs 20. It is sold at a discount of 15%. find the discount allowed on the pen and its selling price.

Answer 1

Marked Price of the pen = Rs 20
Discount % = 15%
$\therefore$ Discount allowed = 15% of Rs 20 $=\frac{15}{100}\times Rs20=Rs3$
Therefore, selling price of the pen $=Rs20-Rs3=Rs17$
