Question

(a) The marked price of a radio is Rs. 6,000. After giving a certain percent of dis-

count and leaving 10% VAT, its price becomes Rs. 5,610. What is the discount
percent ?​

Answer 1

6.5%

Explanation:

M.P= ₹6,000

Amount excluding VAT= 5,610

discount= x/100

discount= 6000*x/100=60x

equating

6000-60x= 5610

6000-5610=60x

390=60x

390/60=x

6.5=x

therefore, there is a discount of 6.5%
