C.P. = M.P. – Discount. Is the following statement true or false

Solution:

The statement is False. 

M.P. = Marked Price

Discount is always marked on Marked Price but Marked Price minus discount gives the selling price NOT cost price.

✦ Try This: A discount of 15% is given on the marked price of Rs. 200. Find the selling price.

Discount = 15% of 200

= (15/100) × 200

= Rs. 30

Selling Price(SP) = 200 - 30

= Rs. 170
