Question

The market price of a mixer is $2300$ rupees. A customer purchased it for $Rs.1955$. Find percentage of discount offered to the customer.

• A. $67.26\%$
• B. $10.26\%$
• C. $55.26\%$
• D. $13.26\%$

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

$13.26\%$

Let the Discount amount be $x$,

Market price $=Rs.2300$

Selling price $=Rs.1995$

Market price $=$ selling price$(1-\frac{x}{100})$

$\Rightarrow 2300-\frac{x}{100}\times 2300=1995$

$\Rightarrow 2300-1995=23x$

$\Rightarrow x=13.26$

Hence, discount percentage $=13.26$ %
