Solution

Given,

MP of the ceiling fan = Rs . 720 

SP of the ceiling fan = Rs . 684

Since SP = MP - Discount, 

Discount = MP - SP

 = Rs . (720 - 684)

 = Rs . 36

\[\text { Discount % } = \left( \frac{\text { Discount }}{MP} \right) \times 100 % \]

\[ = \frac{36}{720} \times 100 % \]

\[ = 5 \]%
