Let cost price be Rs. 100
Marked price = 100 + 35% of 100 = Rs. 135
Selling price = Rs. 100
∴ Discount % = {(Marked price – selling price)/Marked price} × 100 = {(135 – 100)/135} × 100 = 25.92%
Marked price = 100 + 35% of 100 = Rs. 135
Selling price = Rs. 100
∴ Discount % = {(Marked price – selling price)/Marked price} × 100 = {(135 – 100)/135} × 100 = 25.92%
