Answer 2

Given: MP (marked price) is 30% more than CP

           SP is 30% discounted on MP

To find: Profit/loss percentage

Solution: Let the CP of the article be x.

When the article is marked 30% more than CP, MP = (1 + 30/100)x

                                                                                     = 130x/100

Now after 30% discount on MP, SP turns out to be

= (1 - 30/100) × 130x/100

= 70/100 × 130x/100

= 91x/100

Since SP<CP, there is loss.

∴ Loss = x - 91x/100

           = 9x/100

Hence, loss percentage = (9x/100)/x × 100%

                                         = 9%

Answer: Option (4) Loss 9%
