In a discount scheme, there is a 38% discount on the marked price of ₹1,250, but the sale is done at ₹434 only, then what additional discount did the customer get?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. 44%.

Marked Price = ₹1250

Initial 38% discount = 1250 × 100−38100100-38\over100 = ₹775

Actual sale price = ₹434

Additional discount = ₹775 - ₹434 = ₹341

Additional discount% = 341775×100{341\over775} \times1 00 = 44%
