    A shopkeeper sold an article after offering two

    successive discounts of 15% and 25%, respectively. The marked price of the article is Rs. 2400. If the cost price of the article is 2000, then find the profit/loss percentage in the whole transaction.
    A 13.5% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 33.5% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 43.5% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 23.5% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Marked price of the article = Rs. 2400 Selling price of the article = 2400 × 0.85 × 0.75 = Rs. 1530 Cost price of the article = Rs. 1530 So, loss percentage = [(2000 – 1530)/2000] × 100 = 23.5%
