The MP of an item is ₹ 80 and it is sold for Rs 76 then the discount percentage is ……………………. A) 6% B) 5% C) 15% D) 20%

Answer»

Correct option is B) 5%

Correct option is (B) 5%

Discount = MP - Selling price

= Rs (80 - 76)

= Rs 4

Discount percentage \(=\frac{Discount}{MP}\times100\%\)

\(=\frac4{80}\times100\%\)

\(=\frac{100}{20}\%=5\%\)
