- Let the C.P. be Rs 100.
Therefore,marked price is Rs. 135.
Sale Price id Rs. 108.
Therefore discount=Rs.(135-108)=Rs. 27
let the percentage be x
then, x/100*135=27
therefore,x=20.

- let c.p =100
then market price=135
s.p=108 (because 100+ gain)
acc. to formula,
discount= market price- s.p
=135-108
=27
we have to calculate discount percent,
= discount/market price *100
=27/135 *100
=27/27 *20
=20% - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- Ans:discount%=20%
discount=MP-SP
MP=CP+ 35% of CP=27CP/20
gain%=gain*100/CP
Putting given gain%=2% , taking CP as Rs. CP and gain=SP-CP
SP=27CP/25
dicount=27CP/20 - 27CP/25 (putting values of MP and SP from above)
discount=27CP/100
discount%=discount*100/MP
discount%=27CP*100*20/100*27CP=20% - 5 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
