1)  

 A bicycle  marked at 1431 is sold for 413. What is the percentage of discount

Answer: 71%


  


SOLUTION 1 :

Given  :

   M.P = 1431

   S.P = 413

  Amount of discount   = M.P -S.P

                                    = 1431-413

                                    = 1018

Discount for 1431 = 1018

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

                                     = (1018÷1431) x 100

                                     = 0.71139063591894 x 100

Percentage of discount =  71%

                          

                           



2)  

 A bicycle  marked at 1490 is sold for 342. What is the percentage of discount

Answer: 77%


  


SOLUTION 1 :

Given  :

   M.P = 1490

   S.P = 342

  Amount of discount   = M.P -S.P

                                    = 1490-342

                                    = 1148

Discount for 1490 = 1148

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

                                     = (1148÷1490) x 100

                                     = 0.77046979865772 x 100

Percentage of discount =  77%

                          

                           



3)

Discount for 1187 = 889

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

                                     = (889÷1187) x 100

                                     = 0.74894692502106 x 100
