1)  

 A bicycle  marked at 1414 is sold for 440. What is the percentage of discount

Answer: 69%


  


SOLUTION 1 :

Given  :

   M.P = 1414

   S.P = 440

  Amount of discount   = M.P -S.P

                                    = 1414-440

                                    = 974

Discount for 1414 = 974

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

                                     = (974÷1414) x 100

                                     = 0.68882602545969 x 100

Percentage of discount =  69%

                          

                           



2)  

 A bicycle  marked at 1007 is sold for 451. What is the percentage of discount

Answer: 55%


  


SOLUTION 1 :

Given  :

   M.P = 1007

   S.P = 451

  Amount of discount   = M.P -S.P

                                    = 1007-451

                                    = 556

Discount for 1007 = 556

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

                                     = (556÷1007) x 100

                                     = 0.55213505461768 x 100

Percentage of discount =  55%

                          

                           



3)

                                    = 1467-232

                                    = 1235

Discount for 1467 = 1235

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

                                     = (1235÷1467) x 100

                                     = 0.84185412406271 x 100
