Answer 1

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= $\frac{25}{100} \times x= 0.25x$

∴ 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.

⇒ $x-0.25x= 2400$

⇒ $0.75x= 2400$

cross multiplying both side.

∴ $x= \frac{2400}{0.75} = 3200$

∴ 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= $3200-2400= 800$

Hence, saving on the purchase of the bed is 800.
