Explanation

Discount = 140 - 112 = 28. Discount percentage = (28 / 140) * 100 = (1/5) * 100 = 20%.

AI explanation

The discount amount is calculated by subtracting the selling price from the marked price, giving 140 - 112 = Rs 28. The discount percentage formula is (Discount / Marked Price) * 100. Substituting the known values gives (28 / 140) * 100 = 20%.
