      Question

      A seller purchases an item for Rs. 240 and sells it

      with a 20% discount, earning a profit of 20%. If the seller increases the discount to 25%, what would be the new profit percentage?
      A 12.5% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 15% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 10% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 18% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Selling price of item = 1.2 Γ— 240 = Rs. 288 So, marked price of item = 288/0.8 = Rs. 360 Therefore, selling price on 25% discount = 360 Γ— 0.75 = Rs. 270 Therefore, required profit percentage = {(270 – 240)/240} Γ— 100 = 12.5%
