Answer:
The profit percentage is 60%
Step-by-step explanation:
Given as :
The two successive discount are 10% and 20%
i.e d_1 = 10%
And d_2 = 20%
Or, equivalent discount =d = d_1 + d_2 - \dfrac{d_1 d_2}{100}
Or, d = 10% + 20% - \frac{10\times 20}{100}
Or, d = 30% - 2%
∴ d = 28%
So, The equivalent discount = d = 28%
Again
Let The mark up price = m.p = Rs 100
So, The profit = 30% of mark up
Or the profit = 0.3 × 100 = Rs 30
Discount % = \dfrac{m.p - s.p}{m.p}
Or, 20% = 1 - \dfrac{s.p}{100}
Or, s.p = 0.8 × 100
So, selling price = s.p = Rs 80
Again
∵ profit = s.p - c.p
or, rs 30 = rs 80 - c.p
Or, c.p = rs 80 - rs 30
So, c.p = rs 50
i.e cost price = rs 50
Again
profit % = \dfrac{s.p - c.p}{c.p}
Or, Profit % = \dfrac{80-50}{50}
Or, profit % = \dfrac{3}{5}
Or, Profit = 60%
Hence, The profit percentage is 60% Answer
