      Solution

      ATQ,

      Let the selling price, cost price and marked price be Rs. 9x, Rs. 6x and Rs. 12x respectively

      According to the question,

      Profit earned = 9x – 6x = Rs. 3x

      Therefore, 3x = 1500

      Or, x = 500

      Therefore, discount offered = 12x – 9x = 3x = 3 × 500 = Rs. 1500
