Question:

A shopkeeper marks an article at a place 20% higher than its cost price and allows 10% discount. Find his gain percentage.

Options:

9.5%

8%

9%

10%

Correct Answer:

8%

Explanation:

Let , Cost price =  Rs. 100x

According to the question,

 Marked price =  Rs. 120x

Again, Discount = 10%

Selling price = 90% of MP

= 90% of 120

= Rs. 108

Now , Gain% =  \(\frac{108 - 100}{100}\) × 100

= 8%
