      The marked price of a gadget is 175 percent of its cost

      price. If a 15% discount is offered at the time of sale, what will be the profit percentage?
      A 72.25% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 56.25% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 48.75% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 32.45% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      Let the cost price of the gadget be Rs. '100x'

      Marked price of the gadget = '100x' X 1.75 = Rs. '175x'

      Selling price of the gadget = '175x' X 0.85 = Rs. '148.75x'

      Profit earned on selling the gadget = '148.75x' - '100x' = Rs. '48.75x'

      Required profit percentage = {(48.75x/100x) X 100} = 48.75%
