Answer 1

Answer:

A.15%

Explanation:

Given - Mr. Edwin Lazo paid Php 13,600.00 for a television set that

            originally cos t P16,000.00.

To find -  What is the rate of discount?

Proof -

Original price of a television - 16,000

Discounted price - 13,600

Now,

As we know that

Rate of discount = $\frac{Original price - Discounted price}{Original price}$× 100%

                            = $\frac{16000 - 13600}{16000}$× 100%

                            = $\frac{2400}{16000}$× 100%

                            = $\frac{24}{160}$× 100%

                            = 0.15× 100% = 15%

∴ we get

Rate of discount = 15%

So,

The correct option is - A. 15%
