Discounts are determined by profit and loss, which are primarily determined by the marked price, cost price, and selling price. The cost price represents the cost of producing the good. The cost determined by the seller in accordance with market norms is known as the marked price or selling price, and the selling price is the cost at which the goods has actually been sold. The buyer claims to have received a discount when the selling price is less than the market price.If you are preparing for competitive exams and looking for expert guidance, you can download our General Knowledge Free Ebook Download Now.

r = interest rate

Any product's discount is determined after taking into account the product's marked price and selling price. The formulas mentioned above are used to determine the discount.
