Description: A shopkeeper labelled the price of his articles so as to earn a profit of 30% on the cost price. He then sold the articles by offering a discount of 10% on the labelled price. What is the actual per cent profit earned in the deal?

Solution

Let the cost price of the article be Rs.100x.

Marked price = Rs.130x

S.P. of the article = $$\ \frac{\ 130x\times\ 90}{100}$$ = Rs.117x

Actual percent profit = $$\ \frac{\ 117-100}{100}\times\ 100$$

=17%

D is the correct answer.
