Question:
A publisher gives 32% discount on the printed price of a book to booksellers. What does a bookseller pay for a book whose printed price is Rs 275?
Solution:
Discount allowed by the publisher $=32 \%$ on the printed price
Printed price $=$ Rs. 275

$=$ Rs. 88
So, the bookseller pay $s=$ Rs. $275-$ Rs. 88
= Rs. 187 for a book
