Correct Answer: 8%


Solution : An item with a marked price of INR 3,800 was sold for INR 3,496 after a discount of $y$% was offered.
Given,
Marked Price = INR 3,800
Selling Price = INR 3,496
Discount = Marked price -– Selling price
= INR 3800 - INR 3496
= INR 304
Discount percentage = $\frac{304}{3800}\times 100$
Discount percentage = 8%
Hence, the correct answer is 8%.
