Answer 2

✬ Profit % = 5 % ✬

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

• A trader marks his goods 40% above the cost price.
• He allowed a discount of 25%.

To Find:

• What is profit or loss % ?

Solution: Let the cost price of goods be Rs 100.

Then Marked Price = 40% above C.P

$\small\implies{\sf }$ M.P = Rs 140

• Discount given is 25% •

∴ Total Discount = 25% of 140

$\small\implies{\sf }$ Discount = 25/100 x 140

$\small\implies{\sf }$ Discount = Rs 35

★ Selling Price = ( Marked Price – Discount ) ★

$\small\implies{\sf }$ Selling Price = (140 – 35)

$\small\implies{\sf }$ Selling Price = Rs 105

Here S.P > C.P , So there is profit

=> Profit = S.P – C.P

=> Profit = (105 – 100) = Rs 5

★ Profit % = Profit / C.P x 100 ★

$\small\implies{\sf }$ Profit % = 5/100 x 100

$\small\implies{\sf }$ Profit % = 5%

Hence, The profit Percent is 5 %.
