If on an item a shop gives 25% discount, they earn 25%
profit. If they now give 10% discount then what is the
profit percentage
Answer Posted / muhammad aamir siddiq
Ok I have seen many Answers but none of them seem correct.
Heres the real way to solve this data sufficiency problem:
We don't need to consider the cost price at all. It is already clued in the question.
1st Part
When we earn 25% profit by offering 25% discount it means:
Selling price before 25% discount=$100
Selling price after 25% discount= $75
So we come to know( as its mentioned in the question) that when we sell certain item with 25% discount or $75 we will get 25% profit.
2nd Part
Now if we give 10% discount then selling price after 10% discount = $90
How much profit will we get when we'll sell an item for $90?
So we need to find the profit by this basic cross multiplication method:
75---25
90---x
75x= 25*90/75= 30
So our profit will be 30%

Samuel is obviously a bad fisherman. During the past season, in which he and the five members of his team spent four months on a boat together off Dutch Harbor, AK, he caught fewer fish than any of his teammates. Which of the following, if true, most weakens the argument above? While fishing this past season, Samuel fell sick for a week and did not catch any fish during this time. Before becoming a fisherman, Samuel piloted a fishing boat whose members regularly caught record numbers of fish. Unlike the other fishermen on his boat, at the order of the captain, Samuel fished this past season with experimental bait. Two seasons ago, Samuel fished on another boat off Dutch Harbor and caught more fish than any other member of that boat.
