A cell phone was marked at 20% above the cost price and a discount of 10% was given on its marked price. What is the profit percentage?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
Let the cost price = 100
Markup = 20%
So the Marked price = 120
Discount = 10%
So, the selling price = 120 × \(\frac{90}{100}\) = 108
So the profit = 108 - 100 = 8
Profit% = 8 × \(\frac{100}{100}\) = 8%
