    2. 10
      1
      %
      2
    3. 20%
    4. 12%
Correct Option: A

Discount = 440 – 396 = 44
If the rate of discount be x %, then

440 × x

100

⇒  x =
44 × 100
= 10%
440

Second Method :
Here, M.P. = ₹ 440
S.P. = ₹ 396
Discount % =
M.P. − S.P.
× 100
M.P.

=
440 − 396
× 100%
440

=
44
× 100% = 10%
440
