Let the marked price of each pen be y.
Total cost price of 40 pens = Total marked price of 36 pens = ₹ 36y
Selling price of 1 pen after 1% discount = (1 – 0.01)y = ₹ 0.99y
Selling price of 40 pens = 40 × 0.99y = ₹ 39.6y
Profit = SP - CP = 39.6y - 36y = ₹ 3.6yProfit % = 3.6 y × 100 36y

Given that , Listed price = ₹ 1,500 and additional discount = ₹ 1,104
First discount = 20%Price after first discount = ₹ 
1500 − 20 × 1500 
100
Price after first discount = ₹ (1500 – 300) = ₹ 1200
Let the additional discount be y%∴ 1200 − y × 1200 = 1104 100
Correct Option: A
Given that , Listed price = ₹ 1,500 and additional discount = ₹ 1,104
First discount = 20%Price after first discount = ₹ 1500 − 20 × 1500 100
Price after first discount = ₹ (1500 – 300) = ₹ 1200
Let the additional discount be y%∴ 1200 − y × 1200 = 1104 100
⇒ 1200 – 12y = 1104
⇒ 12y = 1200 – 1104 = 96⇒ y = 96 = 8% 12
