The Shopkeeper Marked a Dinner Set for ₹1000. He Sold It at ₹900, What Percent Discount Did He Give? - Mathematics

The shopkeeper marked a dinner set for ₹1000. He sold it at ₹900, what percent discount did he give?

Sum

Marked price of a dinner set = ₹ 1000

and selling price (S.P.) = ₹ 900

∴ Amount of discount = Rs. 1000 - Rs. 900 = ₹ 100

∴ Discount percent = `("Discount" xx 100)/"M.P."`

`= (100 xx 100)/1000 = 10%`
