Let's solve the problem step by step based on the image you provided. The task involves
discounts, specifically calculating
discount amounts and
percentages, and understanding how discounts work in real-world scenarios.
---
Part A: Find the discount offered in each situation
We are given two scenarios where a
market price (MP) and
selling price (SP) are provided. We need to find the
discount amount and the
discount percentage.
####
1. Market price = $600, Selling price = $485
-
Discount amount = MP - SP
= $600 - $485 =
$115
-
Discount % = (Discount / MP) × 100
= ($115 / $600) × 100 ≈
19.17%
✔ So, Discount =
$115, Discount % ≈
19.17%
---
####
2. Market price = $31.20, Selling price = $11.75
-
Discount amount = $31.20 - $11.75 =
$19.45
-
Discount % = ($19.45 / $31.20) × 100 ≈
62.34%
✔ So, Discount =
$19.45, Discount % ≈
62.34%
---
####
3. Market price = $80, Selling price = $71
-
Discount amount = $80 - $71 =
$9
-
Discount % = ($9 / $80) × 100 =
11.25%
✔ So, Discount =
$9, Discount % =
11.25%
---
Part B: Determine the tags and write the discount offered
We have two sale tags:
####
Tag 1:
- Original price:
$200
- Sale price:
$160
-
Discount amount = $200 - $160 =
$40
-
Discount % = ($40 / $200) × 100 =
20%
So, the discount is
$40 or
20%
####
Tag 2:
- Original price:
$600
- Sale price:
$510
-
Discount amount = $600 - $510 =
$90
-
Discount % = ($90 / $600) × 100 =
15%
So, the discount is
$90 or
15%
---
Part C: What is the discount offered when the marked price is $100 and the selling price is $10?
-
Marked Price (MP) = $100
-
Selling Price (SP) = $10
-
Discount amount = $100 - $10 =
$90
-
Discount % = ($90 / $100) × 100 =
90%
✔ So, the discount is
$90 or
90%
Now look at the options:
> a) $10 b) $90 c) $90 d) $10
Wait — options seem duplicated. But clearly, the
discount amount is
$90.
So, correct answer is:
b) $90 or
c) $90 — likely a typo in labeling.
But since both b and c say $90, perhaps it's just formatting.
✔ Final answer:
$90
