1. Problem: A dealer offers a 10% discount on a car costing 7000. Find the discount amount.
Formula: Discount = (Percent Discount / 100) \times Marked Price
Calculation: Discount = \frac{10}{100} \times 7000 = 700
Answer: The discount amount is 700.
2. Problem: A dress marked at 80 is sold for 68. Find the percent discount.
Formula: Percent Discount = \left(\frac{Marked Price - Sale Price}{Marked Price}\right) \times 100\%
Calculation: Discount = 80 - 68 = 12
Percent Discount = \frac{12}{80} \times 100 = 15\%
Answer: The percent discount is 15%.
3. Problem: Find the marked price of a book if percent discount is 12% and sale price is 70.
Formula: Sale Price = Marked Price - Discount
Discount = \frac{Percent Discount}{100} \times Marked Price
Let Marked Price = x
Then, 70 = x - \frac{12}{100}x = x \times (1 - 0.12) = 0.88x
Calculation: x = \frac{70}{0.88} = 79.55
Answer: The marked price is 79.55.
4. Problem: A bag marked 450 has a 10% discount. Find discount amount and sale price.
Discount = \frac{10}{100} \times 450 = 45
Sale Price = 450 - 45 = 405
Answer: Discount is 45 and sale price is 405.
5. Problem: A school gets 15% discount buying 110 books costing 20 each. Find total payment.
Total cost without discount = 110 \times 20 = 2200
Discount = \frac{15}{100} \times 2200 = 330
Amount to pay = 2200 - 330 = 1870
Answer: The school pays 1870.
6. Problem: Sara paid 500 for a coat including 15% discount. Find discount amount.
Let Marked Price = x
Sale Price = x - \frac{15}{100}x = 0.85x = 500
x = \frac{500}{0.85} = 588.24
Discount = 588.24 - 500 = 88.24
Answer: Discount amount is 88.24.
7. Problem: After 10% discount, a bag costs 30. Find original price.
Let original price = x
Sale Price = 0.9x = 30
x = \frac{30}{0.9} = 33.33
Answer: Original price is 33.33.
8. Problem: Marked price of book is 400. Find sale price after successive discounts 10% and 15%.
After first discount: 400 \times 0.9 = 360
After second discount: 360 \times 0.85 = 306
Answer: Sale price is 306.
9. Problem: Sale price after successive discounts 10% and 15% is 519. Find marked price.
Let marked price = x
After first discount: 0.9x
After second discount: 0.85 \times 0.9x = 0.765x = 519
x = \frac{519}{0.765} = 678.43
