If Marked price of an article is Rs. 2500 and selling price is Rs. 2000. What is the discount percentage?

Given: 

Marked Price(MP) = Rs. 2500 

Selling Price(SP) = Rs. 2000 

Formula Used:  

Discount % = $$\frac{MP - SP}{MP}\times 100$$ 

Solution: 

Putting the values in the formula;

Discount% = $$\frac{2500 - 2000}{2500} \times100 = \frac{500}{2500}\times100 = \bf20\%$$​​
