Question
A publisher gives 32% discount on the printed price of a book to booksellers. What does a bookseller pay for a book whose printed price is Rs 275?
Solution
\[\text { Discount allowed by the publisher = 32 % on the printed price }\]
\[\text { Printed price = Rs .} 275\]
\[\text { So, 32 % of }275 = \frac{32}{100} \times 275\]
\[ =\text { Rs } . 88\]
\[\text { So, the bookseller pays = Rs } . 275 - Rs . 88\]
\[ =\text { Rs . 187 for a book }\]
