A trader marks his goods at 60% above the cost price and allows a discount of 25%. What is his gain percent?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
Let the cost price of the goods = 100
Mark up = 60%
Now the Marked price of the goods = 160
Discount offered = 25%
So, the selling price of the goods = 75% of 160 = 120
Now the profit = 120 - 100 = 20
Profit% = 20 × \(\frac{100}{100}\) = 20%
