Marked Price = Rs. 200

After Rabia buys 4 items, she gets 33% discount

∴ Selling Price = 200 – (0.33 × 200) = Rs. 134.

Since the items are 4 in number total price = 4 × 134 = Rs. 536

Now, Rabia buys another item ⇒ Discount = 22%

∴ Selling Price = 200 – (0.22 × 200) = 200 – 156.

∴ Total Selling Price = 536 + 156 = Rs. 692.

Total marked price = 200 × 5 = Rs. 1000

⇒ Effective Discount = [(1000 – 692)/1000] × 100 = 30.8 %
