Question

If on a item a company gives 25% discount,they earn 25% profit.If they now give 10% discount then what is the profit percentage

Answer 1

I

Consider Rs 100 as marked price.

Selling price SP with 25% discount is 100-25=75Rs

SP with 10% discount is Rs90

II Finding Cost price CP

If 100Rs is CP and profit is 25% the SP=125Rs

for 25% profit: if sp is 125Rs CPis 100Rs

Sp is 75Rs CP is = (100x75)/125

=Rs60

Now the Profit with 10% discount=SP-CP

=90-60=30Rs

% Profit= (Profit/CP)100

=(30/60)100= 50%
