Question

On a good if 25% discount is given he will earn profit of 25%, what will be profit if he gives 10% discount

Answer 1

Answer: 50%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the Original cost price be X.

price after 25% discount = X - (25/100)*X  = 0.75X

But selling at 0.75X price, the profit is 25%

//remember C.P = (100/100+Gain%)*S.P.

So original cost X = (100/125)*0.75X = 0.6X

Price after 10% discount on original price = X - (10/100)X = 0.9X

His actual cost price = 0.6X.

So profit at 10% discount = (0.9X - 0.6X) *100/(0.6X)  =  50%
