Question

the Marked price of a book is rupees 160 if it is sold at 15% discount find the discount amount and selling price​

Answer 1

answer is 15%

Explanation:

cost prices of book =160

selling prices of book =136

now,rate of discount =loss% (as discount only leads to some kind of loss)

so CP>SP

so loss=CP-SP =160-136=24

loss%= (loss/CP)÷100

=(24/160)÷100

=15%

so rate of discount =15%
