Question:

While selling to the retailer, a company allows 30% discount on the marked price of its products. If the retailer sells those products at marked price, his profit per cent will be ________.

Options:

$42\frac{8}{7}$%

$42\frac{6}{7}$%

$42\frac{4}{7}$%

$42\frac{2}{7}$%

Correct Answer:

$42\frac{6}{7}$%

Explanation:

Let the marked price of the product = 100

Discount = 30%

Selling price = 70% of 100 = 70

SP for the retailer = 100

Profit % = (100 - 70) × \(\frac{100}{70}\) = $42\frac{6}{7}$%
