After giving 20% discount on an article there is a profit of 20%. What will be the profit percentage when no discount is given?
Let marked price = Rs. 100
Discount % = 20%
=> Selling price = $$100-(\frac{20}{100}\times100)$$
=Â $$100-20=Rs.$$ $$80$$
Also, profit % = 20%
=> Cost price = $$\frac{80}{(100+20)}\times100$$
=Â $$\frac{2}{3}\times100=Rs.$$ $$\frac{200}{3}$$
When no discount is given, => Selling price = Rs. $$100$$
$$\therefore$$ Profit % = $$[(100-\frac{200}{3})\div(\frac{200}{3})]\times100$$
= $$\frac{300-200}{200}\times100$$
= $$\frac{100}{2}=50\%$$
