Example 2 An item marked at Rs 840 is sold for Rs 714. What is the discount and discount %?Given,
Marked Price = Rs 840
Sale Price = Rs 714
Now,
Discount = Marked Price − Sale Price
= 840 − 714
= 126
Now,
Discount Percentage = 𝐷𝑖𝑠𝑐𝑜𝑢𝑛𝑡/(𝑀𝑎𝑟𝑘𝑒𝑑 𝑃𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑒) × 100
= 𝟏𝟐𝟔/𝟖𝟒𝟎 × 100
= 1260/84
= 630/42
= 90/6
= 15 %
∴ Discount Price = Rs 126
& Discount Percentage = 15%
