Question
The marked price of a mixer is 2300 rupees. A customer purchased it for Rs. 1955. Find percentage of discount offered to the customer.
Solution
Marked price of the mixer = ₹ 2,300
Selling price of the mixer = ₹ 1,955
∴ Discount = Marked price − Selling price
= ₹ 2,300 − ₹ 1,955
= ₹ 345
On marked price of ₹ 2,300, the discount is ₹ 345.
Let the discount be ₹ x.
Now, if the marked price is ₹ 100, then the discount is ₹ x.
∴ \[\frac{x}{100} = \frac{345}{2300}\]
⇒ \[x = \frac{345}{2300} \times 100\]
= 15
