step by step answer please ​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume cost price =Rs 100.

Makeup percentage of an article = 50%

Marked price =100+100*50/100=150

Discount = 20%

Selling price=Marked price-Marked price*Discount %

S=150−150∗20/100

S=150−30=120

Profit %=(Selling price-Cost price)*100/Cost price

P=(120-100)*100/100

P %=20 %

Answer 20 %
