The profit is Rs.1800

The percentage of the profit is 20%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The market price of a television is 25% more than the cost price. It is sold at a discount of 10%. If the marked price is rs.12000

To find : The cost price, selling price and the profit. What will be the percentage of profit?

Solution :

Market price - MP=Rs.12000

The cost price is

$CP=MP-MP\times 25\%$

$CP=12000-12000\times\frac{25}{100}$

$CP=12000-3000$

$CP=9000$

The cost price is Rs.9000

After discount,

The cost of the TV is

$D=MP-MP\times 10\%$

$D=12000-12000\times\frac{10}{100}$

$D=12000-1200$

$D=10800$

Profit = Discounted price - Cost price

P= 10800-9000

P=1800

The profit is Rs.1800

In, percentage the profit is

$P\%=\frac{1800}{9000}\times100\\P\%=20\%$

The percentage of the profit is 20%.
