Answer 1

the price of article =300
increases money =20 percent of 300
=60
new price = 360
discount = 10 ℅ of 360
= 36
after discount price = 360 - 36
==324
the profit percent = 324- 300
= 24 = 8 ℅

Answer 2

Here,

The original price of the article = Rs. 300

Increace the original price by 20%

So,

The new price of the article = Rs. (300 + 20% of 300)

= Rs. (300 + 20/100 × 300)

= Rs. (300 + 60)

= Rs. 360


Again,

Give 10% discount on the new price of the article.

•°• Discount = 10% of Rs.360

= Rs. (10/100 × 360)

= Rs. 36

•°• The price of the article after giving 10% discount = Rs. (360 - 36)

= Rs. 324


So,

Profit = Rs. (324 - 300)

= Rs. 24


•°• Profit percent = 24/300 × 100

= 8%
