Question

Arun marks up the computer.he is selling by 20% profit and sells them at discount of 15% .arun net gain% ?how to solve

Answer 1

Let’s assume Arun’s cost of the computer is 100 (currency does not matter). So, for 20% profit, he must mark the computer for sale at 120 (100 + 20% of 100). Now if he gives a discount of 15%, it is calculated with the base of marked price, which is 120. So the discount is 15% of 120 = 18. Hence, the actual selling price is (120 - 18 =) 102. Since his original cost was 100, the actual profit is (102 - 100 =) 2. Hence the profit percentage is (2/100 * 100% =) 2%

Answer 2

2percent is the answer............
