Question

articles are marked at a price which gives a profit of 25% . After allowing a certain discount the profit reduces to 12% . Find the discount per cent .​

Answer 1

Let the C.P of each article be Rs.100

Profit=25%

So, Marked Price= Rs. 125

As profit reduces to 12%

So, New Marked Price= Rs. 113

So, discount=(125-113)= Rs.12

Let dicount% be x

Then,

$125\times \frac{x}{100} = 12$

$x = \frac{12 \times 100}{125}$

or, x=9.6%
