Question

Answer 1

He will make profit ... Of 17%

Answer 2

Answer:

5 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost price of articles = 100

then, the mark price of articles = 100 + 40 % of 100

= 100 + 40 = 140

Given that discount percentage = 25 %

Hence, selling price = marked price - discount

= 140 - 25 % of 140

= 140 - 35

= 105

Profit = selling price - cost price

loss = cost price - selling price

profit = 105 - 100 = 5

profit percentage = 5 %
