Question

Shubham bought a shirt for ₹825. It was marked at the price of ₹1,500. What percentage of discount did he get?

• A. 42%
• B. 35%
• C. 45%
• D. 55%

Answer 1

The correct option is C 45%

Marked price of the shirt = ₹1500
Selling price = ₹825

Discount availed = Marked price - Selling price
$\Rightarrow$ Discount availed = ₹1,500 - ₹825
$\Rightarrow$ Discount availed = ₹675

So, percentage discount
$=\left(\frac{\text{discount}}{\text{marked price}}\right)\times 100$

$\Rightarrow$ Percentage discount
$=\left(\frac{675}{1,500}\right)\times 100$

$\Rightarrow$ Percentage discount = 45%
