1)  

 A bicycle  marked at 1190 is sold for 264. What is the percentage of discount

Answer: 78%


  


SOLUTION 1 :

Given  :

   M.P = 1190

   S.P = 264

  Amount of discount   = M.P -S.P

                                    = 1190-264

                                    = 926

Discount for 1190 = 926

Discount for 100   = (Amount of discount ÷ M.P) x 100

                                     = (926÷1190) x 100

                                     = 0.778151260504 x 100

Percentage of discount =  78%

                          

                           



2)  

 A bicycle  marked at 1300 is sold for 249. What is the percentage of discount

Answer: 81%


  


SOLUTION 1 :

Given  :

   M.P = 1300

   S.P = 249

  Amount of discount   = M.P -S.P

                                    = 1300-249

                                    = 1051

Discount for 1300 = 1051

Discount for 100   = (Amount of discount ÷ M.P) x 100

                                     = (1051÷1300) x 100

                                     = 0.808461538462 x 100

Percentage of discount =  81%
