Solution

Dealer has offered a discount of 10% on his marked price of 800.
Therefore, selling price = 800 - 80 = 720
Percent Profit = $$\frac{Selling Price - Cost Price}{Cost Price}$$*100
0.2 = $$\frac{720 - Cost Price}{Cost Price}$$
Cost Price = 720/1.2
Cost Price = 600
Therefore option A is correct.
