Option 1: $15\frac{2}{3}\%$

Option 2: $15 \frac{1}{3} \%$

Solution : Let the marked price (MP) be 100$x$
After a discount of 40%, the selling price = 60$x$
When a loss of 30% then, $\frac{70}{100}$ of cost price (CP) = 60$x$
⇒ CP = $\frac{600x}{7}$
Difference in MP and CP = 100$x$ – $\frac{600x}{7}$
