The marked price of an article is 20% more than its cost price. If 5% discount is given on the marked price, then what is the profit percentage?
Let cost price = Rs. $$100x$$
=> Marked price = $$100x+(\frac{20}{100}\times100x)=Rs.$$ $$120x$$
Discount % = 5%
=> Selling price = $$\frac{(100-5)}{100}\times120x=Rs.$$ $$114x$$
$$\therefore$$ Profit % = $$\frac{(114x-100x)}{100x}\times100$$
= $$14\%$$
