Answer 1

see the attached pic for the answer

Answer 2

Total Marked Price=186+839+345=1370Rs.(assuming she bought only 1 pair of glove,a jacket,a sweater)
Discount=20%
20%==1/5.....5(M.P)----4(S.P)
Given,5===1370
           1===1370/5=274Rs.
           4===274*4=1096Rs.
So she paid 1096 Rs. after the discount.
OR
Total marked price=Rs.1370
Discount=20%
Selling price= MP - MP*discount% = 1370 - 1370*20/100 = 1370 -274= Rs.1096
So,she paid Rs.1096
