Question
The shopkeeper marked a dinner set for ₹1000. He sold it at ₹900, what percent discount did he give?
Solution
Marked price of a dinner set = ₹ 1000
and selling price (S.P.) = ₹ 900
∴ Amount of discount = Rs. 1000 - Rs. 900 = ₹ 100
∴ Discount percent = `("Discount" xx 100)/"M.P."`
`= (100 xx 100)/1000 = 10%`
