Options

B. Rs. 276
C. Rs. 202.4
D. Rs. 257.6

Answer

To find the sale price of the watch after applying the discount, we can follow these steps:

### Step 1: Calculate the discount amount
The discount is given as 12% of the listed price of the watch, which is Rs. 230.

To calculate the discount amount:
\[ \text{Discount Amount} = \text{Listed Price} \times \left(\frac{\text{Discount Percentage}}{100}\right) \]
\[ \text{Discount Amount} = 230 \times \left(\frac{12}{100}\right) \]
\[ \text{Discount Amount} = 230 \times 0.12 \]
\[ \text{Discount Amount} = 27.6 \]

### Step 2: Calculate the sale price
Now that we have the discount amount, we can find the sale price by subtracting the discount from the listed price.
\[ \text{Sale Price} = \text{Listed Price} - \text{Discount Amount} \]
\[ \text{Sale Price} = 230 - 27.6 \]
\[ \text{Sale Price} = 202.4 \]

### Final Answer
The sale price of the watch is Rs. 202.4.
