    Solution

    The original marked price is 32,000, and the initial discount is 8%. The price after the initial discount is calculated as: Discounted Price = Marked Price- Initial Discount = 32000 - (32000 × 0.08) = 32000-2560   = 29440 The item is sold for ₹25,000 after applying an additional season's discount on the discounted price of ₹29,440. How much less price =29440-25000 =4440 Percentage less = (4440 /29440) ×100 = (111/736) ×100 =11100/736 =15.08%
