Problem #1  A bicycle cost Rs. 
2500. If the 
shopkeeper gives a 
5% discount, how 
much is the 
discount? 
 For how much can 
the customer buy 
the bicycle?
Given:- 
Marked price= Rs. 2500 
Discount Percent =5% 
To find:- 
Selling Price=? 
Discount=? 
Solution:- 
Discount =Marked Price 
x Discount% 
Discount= 2500 x 5 
100 
Therefore, 
Discount = Rs. 125 
Discount = M.P. – S.P. 
S.P = M.P. – Discount 
S.P. = 2500 – 125 
S.P. = 2375 
Therefore, 
Selling Price = Rs. 2375
 The marked price of 
a watch is Rs. 650. 
If the shopkeeper 
gives a discount of 
8%, what is its 
selling price? 
Problem #2
Given:- 
Marked Price=Rs. 650 
Discount % = 8% 
To Find:- 
Discount=? 
Selling Price=? 
Solution:- 
Discount = Marked Price 
x Discount% 
Discount = 650 x 8 
100 
Discount = 5 2 
Therefore, 
Discount = Rs. 5 2 
Discount = M.P. – S. P. 
S.P. = M.P. – Discount 
S.P. = 650 – 52 
S.P. = 598 
Therefore, 
Selling Price = Rs. 598
