C Correct answer
Explanation

The marked price is 25,000. After a 5% discount, the price becomes 25,000 * 0.95 = 23,750. Let the additional discount be x%. Then 23,750 * (1 - x/100) = 20,900. Solving this gives 1 - x/100 = 20,900 / 23,750 = 0.88, so x = 12.

AI explanation

The price after the 5% cash discount is calculated by subtracting 5% of 25,000 from 25,000, giving 23,750. The final selling price is 20,900. To find the additional season discount percentage, calculate the price reduction of 2,850 divided by 23,750, which equals 0.12. The season discount is 12%.
