  Given

  Marked Price = Rs. 840

  Selling Price =Rs. 714

  To Find

  Discount and Discount %

  Formula

  Discount = Marked Price – Selling Price

  Discount % =( Discount/selling Price )x100

  Now Take

  Discount = Marked Price – Selling Price

  Discount = Rs. 840 – Rs 714

  Discount = 126

  Now

  Discount % =( Discount/selling Price )x100

  Discount % = (126/840) x 100

  Discount % = 0.15 x 100

  Discount % = 15%

  Answer

  Discount = Rs. 126

  Discount % = 15%

  Marked price of the item = Rs. 840.

  Selling price of the item = Rs. 714.

  Discount = Marked price – selling price

  = Rs. (840 – 714) = Rs. 126

  Percentage of discount = (Discount / Marked Price) x 100%

  = (126/840) x 100%

  = 15%
