To find the discount and discount percentage, we need to compare the original price of the article (Rs. 1000) with the selling price (Rs. 750).
1. Start by calculating the discount:
Discount = Original Price - Selling Price
Discount = Rs. 1000 - Rs. 750
Discount = Rs. 250
2. To find the discount percentage, divide the discount by the original price and multiply by 100:
Discount Percentage = (Discount / Original Price) * 100
Discount Percentage = (Rs. 250 / Rs. 1000) * 100
Discount Percentage = (0.25) * 100
Discount Percentage = 25%
Therefore, the discount on the article is Rs. 250, and the discount percentage is 25%.
