A mixer marked at Rs. 2,300 is sold for Rs. 2,024. What is the percentage of discount?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 12%.

Given that 

Marked Price (M.P.) = Rs. 2,300

Selling Price (S.P.) = Rs. 2,024

Formula used

Discount% = [(M.P - S.P.)/M.P.] × 100

Calculation

Discount % = [(2300 - 2024)/2300] × 100 = 12%
