Question

12. If on an item a company gives 25% discount, they earn 25% profit. If they now give 10% discount then what is the profit percentage.

Answer 1

Here you answer goes

Step :- 1

Let the Marked price be 100

Selling Price = 100 * 0.75 = 75

Given ,

Profit = 25 %

Original CP = 100/125 × 75

==> 60

Step :- 2

Marked price = 100

If Giving  discount of 10%

S.P. = 100 * 0.9 = 90

Step :- 3

Profit = 90 -60

==> 30

Profit percentage = $\frac{30}{60} * 100$

===> 50%

Answer 2

Let the cost be Rs x

After giving 25% discount it becomes 0.75x

Selling price = 0.75x

which gives 25% profit...(1)

Thus, after giving 10% discount it becomes 0.90x

Selling price = 0.90x ......(2)

From (1) and (2)

0.90x will give = (25 * 0.90x)/ (0.75x) = 30 % profit
