A shopkeeper bought an item for ₹600 and marked on it 50% higher than its cost price. He allowed 20% discount on it. Find his profit percentage. |
20% 25% 30% 36% |
20% |
Cost Price (C) = 600 Marked Price (M) is 50% higher = 1.5*600 = 900 Discount = 20% of M = 0.2*900 = 180 Selling Price (S) = 900-180 = 720 Profit% = Profit*100/C = (720-600)*100/600 = 20 The correct answer is Option (1) → 20% |
