Given:

Discount = 30%

Marked Price = Rs. 800

Concept Used:

Amount to be paid = Original price × (1 - Discount percentage)

Calculation:

Amount to be paid = Original price × (1 - Discount percentage)

= ₹800 × (1 - 0.30)

= ₹800 × 0.70

= ₹560

Therefore, Jasmine would need to pay ₹560 for the skirt after applying the 30% discount.

Option 4 is the correct answer.
