Discount Calculation


1. Stating the problem: We need to find the discount given the Original Price (OP) = 5610, Selling Price (SP) = 841.50, and Discount Rate (DR) = 15%. 2. The given discount rate seems inconsistent with the selling price, so let's verify the discount using the values. 3. The discount amount is usually calculated as $$\text{Discount} = \text{OP} - \text{SP}$$. Substitute the given values: $$\text{Discount} = 5610 - 841.50 = 4768.50$$. 4. To calculate the discount rate, use $$\text{Discount Rate} = \left( \frac{\text{Discount}}{\text{OP}} \right) \times 100 = \left( \frac{4768.50}{5610} \right) \times 100$$. Calculate the fraction: $$\frac{4768.50}{5610} \approx 0.85$$ so, $$\text{Discount Rate} \approx 85\%$$. 5. Since the problem states DR=15%, which is different from the computed discount rate (85%), confirm which value is correct or whether the data has a typo. 6. Final answer: The discount amount based on OP and SP is 4768.50, corresponding to an 85% discount rate, which differs from the provided 15%.
