Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Rs. 1440

Given that

The marked price of a jeans is Rs 1880

The discount (D) of 20%

Formula used

S.P. = M.P. × (100 - D)/100

S.P. = 1800 × (100 - 20)/100

S.P. = 1800 × 80/100

S.P. = 1440

Hence, the selling price is Rs. 1440
