Question
Find discount in per cent when
$M.P. = Rs. 625$ and $S.P. = Rs. 562.50$
$M.P. = Rs. 625$ and $S.P. = Rs. 562.50$
✓
Answer
$MP = Rs.625$ and $SP = Rs.562.50 $Discount = Marked price – Selling price $= Rs. 625 − Rs. 562.5 = Rs.$ 62.5$\text{Discount}\%=\frac{\text{Discount}}{\text{Marked price}}\times100$
$=\frac{62.5}{62.5}\times100=\frac{6250}{6250}=10\%$
$=\frac{62.5}{62.5}\times100=\frac{6250}{6250}=10\%$
