Discount of 10% on marked price=800*10%=80

Selling price=800-80=720

The dealer makes a profit of 20% means is selling the article at 120%.

120%=720

1%=6

Hence, 100%=600

Thus, the cost price of article= 600

If no discount allowed,

Selling price will become 800

Profit= SP-CP= 800-600=200

Profit percent=(200/600)*100=33.33%

Therefore, the profit percent when no discount allowed=33.33%

Answer:

The profit percent when no discount allowed = 33.33%

Step-by-step explanation:

Marked price of the article is given to be Rs. 800

Discount of 10% on marked price = 10% of 800

                                                       = Rs. 80

Selling price = 800 - 80

                     = Rs. 720

The dealer makes a profit of 20% means is selling the article at 120%.

So, 120% profit at Rs. 720

1% Profit = Rs. 6

Hence, 100% Profit = Rs. 600

Thus, the cost price of article = Rs. 600

If no discount allowed,

Selling price will become 800

Profit = S.P.- C.P.

        = 800 - 600

        = Rs. 200

Profit percent = (200/600) × 100

                       = 33.33%

Therefore, the profit percent when no discount allowed = 33.33%
