      Question

      A shopkeeper marked the price of

      a bicycle at Rs. 15,000. He offers a discount of 30% on the marked price, and an additional 5% discount for immediate payment. Find the profit/loss percent if the marked price is 50% higher than the cost price.
      A 2.25% profit Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 0.25% loss Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 1.25% loss Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 12% profit Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      Cost price of the bicycle = (15000 / 1.5) = Rs. 10,000 Selling price of the bicycle = 15000 × 0.70 × 0.95 = Rs. 9,975 Profit percent = [(9975 - 10000) / 10000] × 100 = -0.25% (loss)
