Question
A watch worth Rs 5400 is offered for sale at Rs 4,500. What per cent discount is offered during the sale?
Solution
Marked price of a watch = Rs. 5400
Selling price = Rs. 4500
Discount = Marked price – Selling price
= Rs. 5400 – Rs. 4500
= Rs. 900
∴ Discount% = `"Discount"/"Marked price" xx 100`
= `900/5400 xx 100`
= `900/54`
= `450/27`
= `150/9`
= `50/3%`
