1)  

 A bicycle  marked at 1117 is sold for 233. What is the percentage of discount

Answer: 79%


  


SOLUTION 1 :

Given  :

   M.P = 1117

   S.P = 233

  Amount of discount   = M.P -S.P

                                    = 1117-233

                                    = 884

Discount for 1117 = 884

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

                                     = (884÷1117) x 100

                                     = 0.791405550582 x 100

Percentage of discount =  79%

                          

                           



2)  

 A bicycle  marked at 1406 is sold for 477. What is the percentage of discount

Answer: 66%


  


SOLUTION 1 :

Given  :

   M.P = 1406

   S.P = 477

  Amount of discount   = M.P -S.P

                                    = 1406-477

                                    = 929

Discount for 1406 = 929

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

                                     = (929÷1406) x 100

                                     = 0.660739687055 x 100

Percentage of discount =  66%

                          

                           



3)

                                    = 1461-272

                                    = 1189

Discount for 1461 = 1189

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

                                     = (1189÷1461) x 100

                                     = 0.813826146475 x 100

                                    = 890

Discount for 1232 = 890

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