Question

At a clearance sale, an article was reduced in
price from Rs. 180 to Rs. 171. If the article sold
at the original price yielded the dealer 25% profit,
what was the percentage of profit if the article
was sold at the reduced price?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Profit = 25%

Cost = 180 x 100/125 = Rs144

If sold at Rs 171 = profit = Rs27

Profit% = 27/ 144 x 100= 2700/144 =18.75% ANSWER

Answer 2

Answer:

Marked price = Rs 180

Profit = 25%

Cost = 180 x 100/125 = Rs144

If sold at Rs 171 = profit = Rs27

Profit% = 27/ 144 x 100= 2700/144 =18.75%
