Program to find the Discount Percentage

Given Marked Price M                and Selling price as S                of a product. The task is to calculate the Discount Percentage applied to that product.

Examples:  

Input: M = 120, S = 100
Output: 16.66%

Input: M = 1000, S = 500
Output: 50% 

The mathematical formula to calculate the Discount Percentage for the product is: 

Discount = Marked Price - Selling price

Therefore,
Discount Percentage = (Discount / Marked Price) * 100

Below is the program to find the discount percentage for a product:  

// CPP Program to find the Discount Percentage

#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;

// Function to find the Discount Percentage
float discountPercentage(float S, float M)
{
    // Calculating discount
    float discount = M - S;

    // Calculating discount percentage
    float disPercent = (discount / M) * 100;

    return disPercent;
}

// Driver code
int main()
{
    int M, S;
    M = 120;
    S = 100;
    
    // Setting the precision to 2 decimals
    cout << std::fixed << std::setprecision(2)
        << discountPercentage(S, M) << "%" << endl;

    M = 1000;
    S = 500;
    
    // Setting the precision to 2 decimals
    cout << std::fixed << std::setprecision(2)
        << discountPercentage(S, M) << "%" << endl;

    return 0;
}

Time Complexity: O(1), since there is no loop or recursion.
Auxiliary Space: O(1), since no extra space has been taken.

Approach#2: Using division formula

Algorithm

1. Divide the selling price (S) by the marked price (M) to get the fraction.
2. Subtract the fraction from 1 to get the discount fraction.
3. Multiply the discount fraction by 100 to get the discount percentage.
4. Return the discount percentage.

#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;

// Function to calculate the discount percentage
string discount_percentage(double M, double S) {
    double fraction = S / M;
    double discount_fraction = 1 - fraction;
    double percentage = discount_fraction * 100;

    stream << fixed << setprecision(2) << percentage;
    return stream.str() + "%";
}
