    After giving a discount of 20% on the marked

    price of a TV, a shopkeeper earns a profit of 25% on the cost price. Had he not given any discount on the marked price, what would have been the profit percent earned by him?
    A 44.55% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 48.52% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 50.35% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 56.25% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the marked price = Rs. 100
    ∴Selling Price = Rs.80 & Profit % = 25 %
    ∴ C.P = 80 x (100/125) = Rs. 64
    Without discount S.P would be Rs. 100
    % profit = (36/64) x 100 = 56.25 % approx.
