If a discount of 10% is allowed on the marked price of an article, a shopkeeper gets a profit of 25%. If he offers a discount of 25% on the marked price of the same article, then his percentage profit/loss will be: |
$4\%$ loss $4\%$ profit $4\frac{1}{6}\%$ profit $4\frac{1}{6}\%$ loss |
$4\frac{1}{6}\%$ profit |
Discount1 = 10% Discount 2 = 25% Let MP = 100. SP of the article = 100 × 90% = 90 CP of the article = 90 × \(\frac{4}{5}\) = 72 New SP of the article = 100 × \(\frac{3}{4}\) = 75 Profit percentage = \(\frac{(75 – 72) × 100}{72}\) = $4\frac{1}{6}\%$ |
