What is percentage discount?

  • A percentage discount is a reduction in the price of a good or service that is expressed as a number of hundred.
  • A 20 percent reduction, for instance, would result in an item that was originally $100 costing $80.

Given ,

             discount = 11%

So,

        ((8000x0.110) + (17000x0.086)) = 2342

           ⇒     2342 / (8000+17000) = 2342/25000

                                    = 0.0937 or 9.37% discount.

The percentage discount allowed all together was 9.37%.
