Options:

52%

44%

45%

43%

Correct Answer:

44%

Explanation:

Discounts = 10%, 17% and 25%

Let the CP = 100

               CP              SP

10%        10              9

17%       100            83

25%       4                3

        ————————————

          4000           2241 = Discount = 1759

Discount% = 1759 × \(\frac{100}{4000}\) = 44%
