Question

Find the unknowns x, y and z.

Name of the item Marked Price Selling Price Discount
Digital clock ₹ 750 ₹ 615 z
Sum
Advertisements

Solution

Digital clock marked price (M.P) = ₹ 750,

Selling price (S.P) = ₹ 615, Discount = z

S.P = `"M.P" xx (((100 - "d"%))/100)`

∴ 615 = `750 xx ((100 - z))/100`

∴ (100 − z) = `(615 xx 100)/750`

100 – z = 82

∴ z = 100 – 82, Discount = 18%
