Solution

If marked price of an article is Rs 1,200 and the discount is 12% then the selling price of the article is Rs 1,056.

Explanation:

Given, marked price of an article = Rs. 1200

Discount % = 12%

Discount = Discount % on marked price

= `12/100 xx 1200`

= 12 × 12

= Rs. 144

Selling price = Marked price – Discount selling price

= Rs. 1200 – Rs. 144

= Rs. 1056

Hence, Rs 1,056
