After giving a discount of 40% on an article, there is still a profit of 25%. If no discount is given, then what will be the profit percentage?
Let Marked price of the article = Rs. $$100$$
Discount % = 40%
=> Selling price = $$100-(\frac{40}{100}\times100)$$
= $$100-40=Rs.$$ $$60$$
Profit % = 25%
=> Cost price = $$\frac{60}{(100+25)}\times100$$
= $$\frac{60}{5}\times4=Rs.$$ $$48$$
If no discount is given, => Selling price = Rs. $$100$$
$$\therefore$$ Profit % = $$\frac{(100-48)}{48}\times100$$
= $$\frac{5200}{48}=108.33\%$$
=> Ans - (D)
