A person bought an item for Rs.2500 and sold it for 15% discount. What was the selling price after discount?
Answer: Rs. 2125
Explanation
To find the selling price after a 15% discount, you can calculate 15% of the original price (Rs. 2500) and subtract that amount from the original price.
15% of Rs. 2500 = (15/100) x 2500 = Rs. 375
Now, subtract Rs. 375 from the original price:
Rs. 2500 - Rs. 375 = Rs. 2125
So, the selling price after the discount is indeed Rs. 2125.
