Question

Rakesh had money to buy 8 mobile handsets of a specific company. But the retailer offered very good discount on that particular handset. Rakesh could buy 10 mobile handsets with the amount he had. What was the discount the retailer offered?

(a) 15%

(b) 20%

(c) 25%

(d) 30%

Answer 1

Correct option is (b) 20%

Let price of each mobile is 1000.

Then, Price of 8 mobile = 8000.

Price of 10 mobile = 10000.

Percentage discount = \(\left(\frac{10000-8000}{10000}\right) \times 100\) = 20%
