Question

Nimra by a laptop 20% discount on original price than sell on 40% So, what was the total profit on original price?​

Answer 1

Answer:

75%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original price be S.

She buys it at 20% discount so its cost price is .8 S

She sells at 1.4S

Therefore profit=

${\frac{1.4S-.8S}{S}}$*100 - 100=175% - 100% = 75%

Answer 2

Profit on original price would be 12%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the original price of the laptop,

If there is discount of 20%,

Then the cost price of the laptop = original price - discount

= x - 20% of x

= x - 0.2x

= 0.8x,

Now, markup percentage = 40%,

So, selling price = cost price + markup

= 0.8x + 40% of 0.8x

= 0.8x + 0.4(0.8x)

= 0.8x  + 0.32x

= 1.12x

Thus, the total profit on original price = selling price  - original price

= 1.12x - x

= 0.12x,

Hence, total profit% on original price = $\frac{\text{Profit}}{\text{Original}}\times 100$

$=\frac{0.12x}{x}\times 100$

$=0.12\times 100$

= 12%
