Assume cost ₹100.

If he marks 20% higher than cost, markup will be 100×20% = ₹20.

Gross Sale price = ₹100+₹20 =₹120

Discount = 5% on 120 = ₹6*

Net Selling Price = ₹120-₹6=₹114

Net profit = ₹114-₹100 = ₹14

Profit % on sales = ₹14/₹114 = 12.28%

Profit % on cost = ₹14/₹100 = 14%

*Normally sale price is displayed to customer accordingly I have assume 5% discount on the sale price.
