AI explanation

The badminton is sold at a 15 percent discount on its marked price of 30, making the selling price 25.50. Because a shuttle cock costing 1.50 is given free, the effective selling price for calculating profit is 25.50 minus 1.50, which is 24. Using the formula cost price equals effective selling price divided by 1.20, the cost price is 24 divided by 1.20. This calculation gives a cost price per badminton of Rs 20.
