A customer purchased a dining table, marked at rs.3000 at successive discounts of 10% and 15% respectively. He gave rs.105 as transportation charge and sold it at rs.3200. What is his gain percentage? Select one: a. 37 17/24% b. 22 1/3% c. 25% d. 33 1/3%

Answer: 33 1/3%

Description for Correct answer:

M.P. of Dining table = Rs. 3000

After Discount, C.P. = 3000×90/100×85/100= Rs.2295

After Transport charges = 2295 + 105 

C.P. = Rs. 2400 

S.P. = Rs. 3,200 

Profit = 3200−2400/2400 × 100

= 800 × 100/2400 = 33 1/3

= 800×1002400=3313
