1)  

 A bicycle  marked at 1250 is sold for 326. What is the percentage of discount

Answer: 74%


  


SOLUTION 1 :

Given  :

   M.P = 1250

   S.P = 326

  Amount of discount   = M.P -S.P

                                    = 1250-326

                                    = 924

Discount for 1250 = 924

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

                                     = (924÷1250) x 100

                                     = 0.7392 x 100

Percentage of discount =  74%

                          

                           



2)  

 A bicycle  marked at 1410 is sold for 331. What is the percentage of discount

Answer: 77%


  


SOLUTION 1 :

Given  :

   M.P = 1410

   S.P = 331

  Amount of discount   = M.P -S.P

                                    = 1410-331

                                    = 1079

Discount for 1410 = 1079

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

                                     = (1079÷1410) x 100

                                     = 0.76524822695 x 100

Percentage of discount =  77%

Discount for 1132 = 897

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

                                     = (897÷1132) x 100
