Solution

The marked price of an article is Rs 80 and it is sold at Rs 76, then the discount rate is 5%.

Explanation:

The marked price of an article = Rs. 80

Sold price of the article = Rs. 76

We know that,

Selling price = Marked price – Discount

Discount = Marked price – Selling price

⇒ Discount = Rs. 80 – Rs. 76 = Rs. 4

Discount % = `4/80 xx 100 = 40/8 = 5%`

Hence, 5%
