A Correct answer
Explanation

Discount = 2150 - 1892 = 258. Discount % = (258 / 2150) * 100 = 12%.

AI explanation

Using the discount percentage formula, discount percentage equals discount divided by marked price multiplied by 100. The discount amount is the marked price minus the selling price, which is 2150 minus 1892, equaling 258. Therefore, the discount percentage is 258 divided by 2150 multiplied by 100, which equals 12 percent.
