Answer: 14.75% profit

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume CP = 100 Rs.

Marked up % = 35%

Marked price = CP * (100+markup%)/100

                       = 100 * 135/100 = 135 Rs.

Discount % = 15%

Selling price = MP*(100-Discount%)/100

                     = 135 * 85/100 = 114.75 Rs.

Profit% = SP-CP/CP * 100 = 114.75-100/100 * 100

           = 14.75/100 * 100 = 14.75%

ALTERNATE:

P% = Markup% - discount% - Markup% * discount%/100

     = 35 - 15 - 35*15/100 = 20 - 5.25 = 14.75%

Answer:14.75%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let CP = 100

MP = 135

Discount = 15% of 135 = 20.25

SP = MP - Discount = 135 - 20.25 = 114.75

Profit = 114.75 - 100 = 14.75 %

Expressed as %, Profit = 14.75%

Notes :

  • MP is always expressed as a % of CP
  • Discount is always given on MP
