      tripled the marked price but gave 40% discount on the new marked price then how much percentage of profit did he gain?
      A 100% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 140% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 200% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 120% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the marked price = Rs. 100x then profit = 25% of 100x = Rs 25x
      Cost price = 100x – 25x = Rs 75x
      New marked price = 100x × 3 = Rs 300x
      Selling price = (100 – 40) % of 300x = 60% of 300x = Rs 180x
      The reqd. profit % = (180x – 75x)/75x × 100 = 140%
