      Question

      A shopkeeper marked an article 70% above its cost price

      and made a profit of Rs. 275 when he sold the article after giving a discount of 25%. Find the profit percent earned by the shopkeeper if he had sold the article for Rs. 1350.
      A 25% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 30% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 35% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 45% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let cost price of the article is Rs. ‘x’ So, Selling price of the article = 0.75 × 1.7 × x = Rs. 1.275x According to question; 1.275x – x = 275 Or, 0.275x = 275 Or, x = 1000 Desired Percentage = [(1350 – 1000)/1000] × 100 = 35%
