In a clearance sale, a sari whose marked price was Rs. 10,490 is now sold for Rs. 9,441. What is the discount percentage on the sari?

Correct option is A

Given:

Marked Price (MP) = ₹10,490

Selling Price (SP) = ₹9,441

Formula Used:

The discount percentage can be calculated using the formula:

Discount Percentage = $$\frac{\text{Discount}} {\text{Marked Price }}\times 100$$​​

where:

Discount = Marked Price -Selling Price

Solution:

Discount = Marked Price -Selling Price = 10490 - 9441 = 1049

Calculate the Discount Percentage:

Discount Percentage = $$\frac{1,049}{10,490} \times 100=10$$​​
Thus, the discount is 10%.
