If the rate of discount be x%, then250 × x = 25 100 ⇒ x = 25 × 100 = 10% 250
Second Method : Here, M.P. = Rs. 250, S.P. = Rs. 225Discount % = M.P. − S.P. = 100% M.P. = 250 − 225 × 100% = 10% 250 Correct Option: B
Marked price = Rs. 250
S.P. = Rs. 225
Discount = 250 – 225 = Rs. 25
If the rate of discount be x%, then250 × x = 25 100 ⇒ x = 25 × 100 = 10% 250
Second Method : Here, M.P. = Rs. 250, S.P. = Rs. 225Discount % = M.P. − S.P. = 100% M.P. = 250 − 225 × 100% = 10% 250
