a)60%,b)20%,c)70% d)30%

• c) 70%
  MP is 40% less than retail price => MP=0.6RP
  coat was purchased for half the MP => SP=(1/2 of MP)=(1/2 of 0.6RP)
  SP=0.3 RP.
  ans is 70%

• let retail price be x
  given marked price is 40%less than retail so mp=x-(40/100)x=60/100x
  eesha paid half the marked price so paid=30/100x
  the percent less than the suggested retail price Eesha paid=(x-(30/100)x)*100/x

  let retail price =x
  so market=x-(40x/100)
  Eesha perehed price=3x/10

• MP= .60 RP
  SP= .50 MP
  = .30 RP
  so less amount is 70%

• Say retail price was 100 `
  => Then Marked price = 40% of R.P. = 60/100 x 100 = 60 `
  => Eesha bought at half of C.P. = 30 `
  Now Gain% to Eesha = 70/100 x 100 = 70%
