Question

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

Answer 1

Here, marked price = Rs 2300, selling price = Rs 1955 

i. Selling price = Marked price – Discount 

∴ 1955 = 2300 – Discount 

∴ Discount = 2300 – 1955 = Rs 345

ii. Let the percentage of discount be x

∴ x = 15 % 

∴ The percentage of discount offered to the customer is 15%.
