Sure, let’s solve this step-by-step.
1. Identify the original price and the discount amount:
- Original price of the T.V.: Rs. 24,000
- Discount amount: Rs. 1200
2. Use the formula for discount percentage:
[tex]\[
\text{Discount Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Discount Amount}}{\text{Original Price}} \right) \times 100
\][/tex]
3. Substitute the given values into the formula:
[tex]\[
\text{Discount Percentage} = \left( \frac{1200}{24000} \right) \times 100
\][/tex]
4. Divide the discount amount by the original price:
[tex]\[
\frac{1200}{24000} = 0.05
\][/tex]
5. Multiply by 100 to convert the fraction to a percentage:
[tex]\[
0.05 \times 100 = 5.0
\][/tex]
6. State the final answer:
The discount percentage is 5.0%.
The T.V. is discounted by 5.0%.
