If on an item a company gives 25% discount, they earn 25% profit. If they now give 10% discount then what is the profit percentage.(a) 40%(b) 55%(c) 35%(d) 30%

One Answer on this Question

1. let MP = 100x
   25% discount = 75x -> SP
   Profit% = (Profit/CP)x100
   125 = (75x/CP)x100
   .: CP = 60x

   Now if discount = 10%
   SP = 90x
   .: Profit% = ((90x-60x)/60x)x100 = 50%
