Given:

Marked price of a table lamp = ₹2165

Selling price during the festive season = ₹1710.35

Formula used:

Percentage Discount = ((Marked Price - Selling Price))/(Marked Price) × 100

Calculations:

Discount = 2165 - 1710.35

⇒ Discount = 454.65

Percentage Discount = (454.65)/(2165) × 100

⇒ Percentage Discount = 0.21 × 100

⇒ Percentage Discount = 21%

∴ The percentage discount offered is 21%.
