1)  

 A bicycle  marked at 1133 is sold for 497. What is the percentage of discount

Answer: 56%


  


SOLUTION 1 :

Given  :

   M.P = 1133

   S.P = 497

  Amount of discount   = M.P -S.P

                                    = 1133-497

                                    = 636

Discount for 1133 = 636

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

                                     = (636÷1133) x 100

                                     = 0.56134157105 x 100

Percentage of discount =  56%

                          

                           



2)  

 A bicycle  marked at 1292 is sold for 261. What is the percentage of discount

Answer: 80%


  


SOLUTION 1 :

Given  :

   M.P = 1292

   S.P = 261

  Amount of discount   = M.P -S.P

                                    = 1292-261

                                    = 1031

Discount for 1292 = 1031

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

                                     = (1031÷1292) x 100

                                     = 0.797987616099 x 100

Percentage of discount =  80%

                          

                           



3)

Discount for 1476 = 1189

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

                                     = (1189÷1476) x 100

                                     = 0.805555555556 x 100
