Marked price of an article is Rs. 2500 and its selling price is Rs. 2200. What is the discount percentage?
Answer: A
The discount is the marked price less the selling price, Rs. 2500 - Rs. 2200 = Rs. 300. The discount percentage is always worked on the marked price, not on the selling price, so it is 300 / 2500 x 100 = 12 percent. As a check, 12 percent of Rs. 2500 is Rs. 300, and Rs. 2500 less Rs. 300 gives the selling price of Rs. 2200. So the answer is 12 percent, option (A). The values 15, 10 and 20 percent do not equal 300 divided by 2500; 15 percent would give a discount of Rs. 375.
