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 / deepak jain
suppose if we consider 100rs as selling price
and seller gives 25% discount so the amount will be 75 on
which he earns 25% profit i.e., 18.75rs.
therefore the cost price is 75 - 18.75 = 56.75rs.
so, if now he gives 10% discount then he sells the product
at 90rs. so his profit portion is (90 - 56-75) = 33.25rs
i.e., 60% of cost price...
Answer is 60%
