SSC CPO - 3 Oct 2023 - Shift 1 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q147

An item with a marked price of ₹3,800 was sold for ₹3,496, after a discount of y% was offered. What was the value of y?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. 8%.

M.P. = Rs.3800

S.P. = Rs.3496

Discount = y%

Now,

⇒ y% of 3800 = 3496

⇒ y/100 × 3800 = 3496

⇒ y = 92%

Discount = 100 - 92 = 8%
