Correct Answer: $14\frac{2}{7}$%
Solution : Given: Cost price of saree = Rs. 7710 , Discount on saree = Rs. 1285 ∴ Marked price = (7710 + 1285) = Rs. 8995 Discount % = $\frac{\text{Discount}}{\text{Selling Price + Discount}}$, Therefore, discount % = $\frac{1285}{8995}$×100% $= \frac{100}{7}=14\frac{2}{7}$% So, the percentage discount offered by the saree shop is $14\frac{2}{7}$%. Hence, the correct answer is $14\frac{2}{7}$%.
