1)  

 A bicycle  marked at 1034 is sold for 359. What is the percentage of discount

Answer: 65%


  


SOLUTION 1 :

Given  :

   M.P = 1034

   S.P = 359

  Amount of discount   = M.P -S.P

                                    = 1034-359

                                    = 675

Discount for 1034 = 675

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

                                     = (675÷1034) x 100

                                     = 0.65280464216634 x 100

Percentage of discount =  65%

                          

                           



2)  

 A bicycle  marked at 1155 is sold for 364. What is the percentage of discount

Answer: 68%


  


SOLUTION 1 :

Given  :

   M.P = 1155

   S.P = 364

  Amount of discount   = M.P -S.P

                                    = 1155-364

                                    = 791

Discount for 1155 = 791

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

                                     = (791÷1155) x 100

                                     = 0.68484848484848 x 100

Percentage of discount =  68%

                          

                           



3)

Discount for 1244 = 870

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

                                     = (870÷1244) x 100

                                     = 0.69935691318328 x 100
