    Question

    A shopkeeper sold an article at marked price and got a

    profit of 25%. If he had given a discount of 5%, then find his new profit percent.
    A 35.25% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 18.75% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 12.44% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 29.55% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, Let the cost price of the product be Rs. 100 Then, marked price = selling price = 100 × 1.25 = Rs. 125 If he allows a discount of 5%, then new selling price = 0.95 × 125 = Rs. 118.75 New Profit = (118.75 – 100) = Rs. 18.75 So, required profit percentage = 18.75%
