Harshi bought a new sweatshirt at the store, when they were giving a 40 percent discount. If the marked price of the sweatshirt was Rs. 2999, then how much did Harshi pay with the discount?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Rs. 1799.40
Marked price of the sweatshirt = Rs. 2999
Discount percentage = 40%
Amount to be paid after discount = Marked price - (Discount percentage × Marked price)/100
Amount to be paid after discount = 2999 - (40/100) × 2999 = 2999 - (0.4)2999 = 2999 - 1199.6 = Rs. 1799.40
