Harshi bought a new sweatshirt at the store, when they were giving a 40 percent discount. If the marked price of the sweatshirt was Rs. 2999, then how much did Harshi pay with the discount?

Correct option is B

Given:
Marked price of the sweatshirt = Rs. 2999
Discount percentage = 40%
Formula Used:
Amount to be paid after discount = Marked price - $$\frac{\text{Discount Percentage} \times \text{Marked Price}}{100}$$​​
Solution:
Amount to be paid after discount =2999 -$$\frac{40}{100}$$​ × 2999
 Amount to be paid after discount =2999 - (0.4) × 2999
Amount to be paid after discount =2999 - 1199.6
Amount to be paid after discount = Rs. 1799.40

Alternate Solution:

Discount of 40% = $$\frac 25$$​​
means if Marked Price = 5 unit then Selling Price= (5-2) = 3 unit
So, 5 unit = Rs.2999

3 unit will be equal to: $$\frac{2999 \times 3}{5} = 1799.4$$​
