Question 1: Retailer's Discount

• The retailer announced a 30% discount on the market price of the air conditioner which is ₹92000.
• The cost price is 70% below the market price which is ₹27600.
• First Discount: 30% (will sell at ₹64400)
• Second Discount: 20% (on showing membership card)
• Profit Without Membership: 92000 - 64400 - 27600 = ₹27600
• Profit With Membership: 92000 - 41600 - 27600 = ₹22800
• Profit Percentage (Without Card vs With Card): 22800 / 27600 * 100 = 82.61%
