Sure, let's break down the problem step by step.
1. Determine the marked price and the selling price:
- The marked price of the table is ₹15,000.
- The selling price of the table is ₹14,400.
2. Calculate the discount given:
- The discount is the difference between the marked price and the selling price.
- [tex]\( \text{Discount} = \text{Marked Price} - \text{Selling Price} \)[/tex]
- [tex]\( \text{Discount} = ₹15,000 - ₹14,400 \)[/tex]
- [tex]\( \text{Discount} = ₹600 \)[/tex]
3. Calculate the discount percentage:
- The discount percentage is calculated by dividing the discount amount by the marked price, then multiplying by 100 to convert it into a percentage.
- [tex]\( \text{Discount Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Discount}}{\text{Marked Price}} \right) \times 100 \)[/tex]
- [tex]\( \text{Discount Percentage} = \left( \frac{₹600}{₹15,000} \right) \times 100 \)[/tex]
- [tex]\( \text{Discount Percentage} = \left( \frac{600}{15,000} \right) \times 100 \)[/tex]
- [tex]\( \text{Discount Percentage} = 0.04 \times 100 \)[/tex]
- [tex]\( \text{Discount Percentage} = 4\% \)[/tex]
Thus, the discount given is ₹600, and the discount percentage is 4%.
