The marked price of an article is Rs 11800 and its selling price is Rs 7788. What is the discount percentage on the item?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. 34%.

Discount = M.P. - S.P.

M.P. = Marked piece, and S.P. = Selling Price

Discount = 11800 - 7788 = Rs. 4012

Discount% = Discount/Marked Price × 100

⇒ 4012/11800 × 100

⇒ 34%
