A shop gives a 25% discount on an item marked at ₹800. What is the selling price?
Hint
Calculate one quarter of ₹800.
Answer
₹600.
Explanation
Twenty-five percent of ₹800 is ₹200. Subtracting the discount from the marked price gives ₹600.
Step-by-Step Solution
Discount = 800 × 25 / 100 = ₹200
Selling price = ₹800 - ₹200 = ₹600
Selling price = ₹800 - ₹200 = ₹600
