Question

an article marked rs. 2000 was sold at a discount of 20 %. if the cp of the article was rs. 1200, find the profit or loss %

Answer 1

CP of article = Rs 1200

Marked price of article = Rs 2000

Discount given = 20%

Selling price of article = Marked price - Total discount given

= 2000 - 20% of 2000 (discount is always given on marked price of the article)

= 2000 - $\frac{20}{100} * 2000$

= 2000 - 400

= Rs 1600

Profit earned = SP - CP

= 1600 - 1200

= Rs 400

Profit % = $\frac{Profit}{CP} *100$

= $\frac{400}{1200}*100$

= 33.3 %

Hence, profit % = 33.3 %
