The market value of the share is 100% more than the face value. Find the relation between face value and discount if the selling price is 50% less than the market value.

Correct Answer: Discount = the face value
Let the face value of the share be 100. The market value of the share = 100% more than the face value = 100 + 100% of 100 = 200 The selling price = 50% less than the market value = 200 – 50% of 200 = 100 The discount = 200 – 100 = 100 The relation between discount and face value is discount = the face value.
