Question

The discount percentage is $25\%$ what is the fraction multiplied by a marked price to find the selling price?

Answer 1

Determine the selling price.

Discount $=25\%$

Formula to calculate the selling price:

$$\begin{gathered} \mathrm{Selling}\mathrm{price}=\frac{[\mathrm{Marked}\mathrm{price}][100–\mathrm{discount}]}{100} \\ \Rightarrow \mathrm{Selling}\mathrm{price}=\frac{[\mathrm{Marked}\mathrm{price}][100–25]}{100} \\ \Rightarrow \mathrm{Selling}\mathrm{price}=[\mathrm{Marked}\mathrm{price}]\times \left(\frac{75}{100}\right) \\ \Rightarrow \mathrm{Selling}\mathrm{price}=[\mathrm{Marked}\mathrm{price}]\times \left(\frac{3}{4}\right) \end{gathered}$$

Hence, $\frac{3}{4}$​ should be multiplied by the market price to get the selling price of the product which has $25\%$ discount.
