Solution
Given, price of CD = 120
Also, discount is 25% of orginal price.
We need to find out selling price.
⇒ Now, we know x% of `n = x/100 xx n`
⇒ 25% discount on Rs. 120 = `25/100 xx 120`
= `120/4`
= Rs. 30
∴ Discount = Rs. 30
⇒ Now, Selling price after discount = Original cost price – Discount
⇒ Selling price after discount = 120 – 30 = Rs. 90
Hence, the selling price is Rs. 90
