Question

The marked price of a book is Rs.180. If the shopkeeper sells it to Asmita for Rs.153, then what is the percentage discount?
1. 27 %
2. 20 %
3. 15 %
4. 17 %

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 3 : 15 %

Given:

The marked price of the book is 180

The selling price of the book is 153

Concept:

Discount = Marked price - Selling price

Calculation:

Let be assume p% discount given by the shopkeeper to Asmita

⇒ p% = (180 - 153)/180 × (100)

⇒ (27/180) × (100) = 15%

∴ The required result will be 15%.
