(a) Rs 1,056
(b) Rs 1,344
(c) Rs 1,212
(d) Rs 1,188

Solution:

Discount is calculated on the marked price.

Marked Price = Rs. 12,00

Discount = 12%

Discount = 12% of 1200

= (12/100) × 1200

= Rs. 144

Selling Price = 1200 - 144

= Rs.1056

✦ Try This: If marked price of an article is Rs 2400 and the discount is 12% then the selling price of the article is

Marked Price = Rs. 2400

Discount = 12%

Discount = 12% of 2400

= Rs. 288

Selling Price = 2400 - 288

= Rs.2112
