Question

The price of a saree after discount is ₹8,000. If the actual cost of the saree was ₹10,000, find the discount percentage?

• A. 10%
• B. 20%
• C. 30%
• D. 40%

Answer 1

The correct option is B 20%

Discounted price of the saree is ₹8,000
Actual cost of the saree is ₹10,000
Discount offered = ₹10,000 - ₹8,000 = ₹2,000
Discount % $=\frac{₹2,000}{₹10,000}\times 100=20\%$
