Marked price and selling price of an article are Rs. 7600 and Rs. 6688 respectively. What is the discount percentage?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 12 percent.

Discount Percentage = (DiscountMarked Price)×100\left( \frac{\text{Discount}}{\text{Marked Price}} \right) \times 100

Discount = Marked Price -  Selling Price

Discount = 7600 - 6688 = 912

Discount Percentage = (9127600)×100=12%\left( \frac{912}{7600} \right) \times 100 = 12\%

So, the discount percentage is 12%.
