Question

The marked prices of a television model in shop A and shop B are $5400 and $4800

respectively. Shop A offers a 20% discount on the model. If shop B wants to have the same
selling price as shop A, what discount should it offer?​

Answer 1

10% Discount

Explanation:

Marked price of TV from shop A = $5400

Discount = 20% of MP

= 20% of $5400

=0.20 x $5400

= $1080

Selling Price = $5400-$1080

SP = $4320

Hence Shop A is selling the TV at $4320

Now if Shop B wants to sell the TV in same price.

Selling price of TV at shop B = $4320

Marked Price = $4800

Discount = $4800-$4320

=$480

Discount percentage =
`(480)/(4800) * 100}`

Discount percentage = 10%

Hence Shop B must offer a discount of 10% in order to have same selling price as that of Shop B
