Answer:
800
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: The selling price of bed is 2400.
Discount offered is 25%
Lets assume the cost of bed be "x"
Discount offered on the cost price of bed= [tex]\frac{25}{100} \times x= 0.25x[/tex]
∴ Discount offered on the cost price of bed= 0.25x
We know the selling price of bed after discount provided.
Finding the cost price of the bed.
⇒ [tex]x-0.25x= 2400[/tex]
⇒ [tex]0.75x= 2400[/tex]
cross multiplying both side.
∴ [tex]x= \frac{2400}{0.75} = 3200[/tex]
∴ Cost price of the bed is 3200.
We know selling price of the bed is 2400.
Now, finding the saving.
Saving on the price of bed= Cost price- selling price
Saving= [tex]3200-2400= 800[/tex]
Hence, saving on the purchase of the bed is 800.
