Manju sold a scooty with a tagged price of ₹1,25,000. After applying a trade concession, the final transaction value became ₹70,000. Calculate the percentage discount given on the marked price.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Given:

Marked Price = ₹1,25,000

Selling Price = ₹70,000

According to the formula:

Discount % = (Discount / Marked Price) × 100

Discount = 1,25,000 − 70,000 = 55,000

Discount % = (55,000 / 1,25,000) × 100 = 44%
