Answer 1

Given:

Mark Price = 50% above cost price

Discount = 25%

To FInd:

His profit percent

Solution

Define x:

Let x be the cost price

Find the selling price:

Profit = 50% of x

Profit = 0.5x

Selling Price = x + 0.5x

Selling Price = 1.5x

Find the selling price after the discount:

Discount = 25% of 1.5x

Discount = 0.25 x 1.5x

Discount = 0.375x

Selling Price after discount = 1.5x - 0.375x

Selling Price after discount = 1.125x

Find the profit percentage:

Profit = 1.125x - x

Profit = 0.125x

Profit Percentage = (0.125x ÷ x ) x 100

Profit Percentage = 12.5%

Answer: (c) 12.5%
