Question 74

A person marked his goods at a price that would give him 40% profit but he declared a sale and allowed 20% discount on the marked price. What is the profit percentage of the person in the whole transaction ?

Solution

Let the cost price by Rs. 100.

Profit = 40%

Selling price = 100 $$\times 140/100 = 140$$

Discount after sale = 20%

Selling price after sale = 140 $$\frac 80/100 = 112

Profit after sale = 112 - 100 = 12

Profit percentage = $$\frac{12}{100} \times 100 = 12%
