A man bought an article listed at Rs.1500 with a discount of 20% offered on the list price. What additional discount must be offered to the man to bring the net price to Rs.1104?

A) 8%
B) 10%
C) 12%
D) 15%

Correct Answer:

A) 8%

Description for Correct answer:
Listed price of an article = Rs.1500

Therefore, Price after first discount

= \( \Large 1500 \times \left(1-\frac{20}{100}\right)=1500 \times \frac{4}{5} \) = Rs.1200

Now, second discount = 1200 - 1104 = Rs.96

Hence, required percentage

= \( \Large \frac{96}{100} \times 100\% \) = 8%
