      Question

      A shopkeeper marks the price of an article 40% above its

      cost price. During a sale, he offers a discount of 25% on the marked price. What is his overall profit percentage?
      A 5% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 10% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 15% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 20% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E 25% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the cost price of the article be ₹100. Marked price = ₹100 × (140/100) = ₹140 Selling price after 25% discount = ₹140 × (75/100) = ₹105 Profit = Selling price - Cost price = ₹105 - ₹100 = ₹5 Profit percentage = (Profit / Cost price) × 100  = (5/100) × 100 = 5% Correct Option: a) 5%
