Question

A bed is 2400 a discount of 25% was given on the

bed.calculate the amount you would save with this amount given ​

Answer 1

800

Explanation:

Given: The selling price of bed is 2400.

Discount offered is 25%

Lets assume the cost of bed be "x"

Discount offered on the cost price of bed=
`(25)/(100) * x= 0.25x`

∴ Discount offered on the cost price of bed= 0.25x

We know the selling price of bed after discount provided.

Finding the cost price of the bed.

⇒
`x-0.25x= 2400`

⇒
`0.75x= 2400`

cross multiplying both side.

∴
`x= (2400)/(0.75) = 3200`

∴ Cost price of the bed is 3200.

We know selling price of the bed is 2400.

Now, finding the saving.

Saving on the price of bed= Cost price- selling price

Saving=
`3200-2400= 800`

Hence, saving on the purchase of the bed is 800.
