Question:

A shopkeeper marks up his articles at 40% above cost price. He sells 70% articles at marked price and rest at 40% discount. Find his profit percent.

Options:

22.22%

23.2%

25%

28%

Correct Answer:

23.2%

Explanation:

Let cost price = 100

MRP = 100 × \(\frac{140}{100}\) =                     140

                                                       ↓ 

                                           ---------------------

                                         70%                     Rest 30%

                                         ↓                              ↓ 
             

                                         98                       42 at 40 % discount

                                                                     ↓ -40%

                                                                    25.2

           SP = 98 + 25.2 = 123.2

          Profit % = \(\frac{123.2 - 100}{100}\) × 100 = 23.2%
