      A shopkeeper sets the sale price of an item at 50% above

      the cost price. He then offers a 25% discount on the market price. What is his percentage profit?
      A 15% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 12.5% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 20% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 8.5% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
