Correct option is D

Let the Cost Price (CP)=100Marked Price (MP)=CP+30% of CP=100+30100×100=130Discount given=45% of MP=45100×130=58.5Selling Price (SP)=MPDiscount=13058.5=71.5Loss=CPSP=10071.5=28.5Loss Percentage=LossCP×100=28.5100×100=28.5%\textbf{Let the Cost Price (CP)} = ₹100 \\[10pt]\textbf{Marked Price (MP)} = CP + 30\% \text{ of CP} = 100 + \frac{30}{100} \times 100 = ₹130 \\[10pt]\textbf{Discount given} = 45\% \text{ of MP} = \frac{45}{100} \times 130 = ₹58.5 \\[10pt]\textbf{Selling Price (SP)} = MP - Discount = 130 - 58.5 = ₹71.5 \\[10pt]\textbf{Loss} = CP - SP = 100 - 71.5 = ₹28.5 \\[10pt]\textbf{Loss Percentage} = \frac{Loss}{CP} \times 100 = \frac{28.5}{100} \times 100 = \boxed{28.5\%}​​
