Question:

A Trader Who Marks His Good Upto 50% And Offered Discount Of 20% . What % Profit The Trade Makes After Offering The Payment?

Choose the correct answer:
  • A. 15%
  • B. 20% ✅ Correct
  • C. 25%
  • D. 40%
Explanation:
Sol.  Let cp = 100,  MRP = 150

  \(  sp = 150 \times {80 \over 100} \)

  \( = Rs. 120 \)

Hence, Profit = 20%


  [short trick:]
By successive formula
\( x+y+{xy \over 100} \)

\( 50-20+{50 \times (-20) \over 100} \)
30 – 10 = 20%
