Question

An appliance store offered the sale of a microwave oven marked P5 190 and a discount of P1 137.50. Find the rate of discount.​

Answer 1

The rate of discount for the microwave oven is 21.89%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of discount can be found by subtracting the discount from the original price and dividing it by the original price, then multiplying by 100 to get the percentage.

Original price = P5,190

Discount = P1,137.50

Rate of discount = (Discount / Original price) * 100 = (P1,137.50 / P5,190) * 100 = 21.89

Therefore, the rate of discount is 21.89%.
