Question

11 ) Articles are marked at a price which gives a profit of 25%. After allowing a certain discount, the profit reduces to 12.5%. Find the discount percent.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

10%

Step-by-step explanation:

let the CP of each article be RS.100

profit = 25%

so, marked price= RS.125

as profit reduce to 12.5%

so, new marked price= RS. 112.5

so, discount= RS ( 125 - 112.5 )

=12.5

let the discount be x

125× x/100 = 12.5

= x = 12.5 × 100 / 125 = 10%
