Given:

Marked price of the cell phone = Rs. 18,000

Discount percentage = 7.5%

Concept:

The value of discount can be calculated by multiplying the marked price with the discount percentage.

Solution:

Discount = Marked Price × Discount Percentage

⇒ Discount = 18,000 × 7.5 / 100

⇒ Discount = Rs. 1,350

Therefore, the value of the discount is Rs. 1,350.
