Question

A) 20% profit
B) 20% loss
C) 25% profit
D) 25% loss

Explain clearly.

Answer 1

Answer:

25% loss

Step-by-step explanation:

Let cost price be rs 100 then 50% is 50

marked price = 100+50

= 150

50% discount = 150/2

= 75

then article was sold at rs 75

but the cost price was 100

so loss = 100-75 = 25

loss % = loss / cp X 100

= 25/ 100 X 100

= 25%
