A television set cost $1500. Mr Nam bought it at a discount of 20%. How much did Mr Nam pay for the television set?

Hi Marycutelol ,

Please find below the solution to the asked query:

Marked price fo television = $1500
Discount = 20% (given)
Since discount is always calculated on the Marked price, therefore

$\mathrm{Discount} =\frac{\mathrm{Discount} \mathrm{percentage}}{100}\times \mathrm{Marked} \mathrm{price}$

Discount = $300

Price at which Mr. Nam bought the television = Marked price - discount

= $1500 - $300
=$1200
