    • Question

      An item is listed at 50% above its cost price and sold at

      10% discount. What is the seller’s profit percentage?
      A 48% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 20% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 35% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 50% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      Let the cost price of the item be Rs. 100x.

      So, marked price of the item = 100x × 1.5 = Rs. 150x

      Selling price after discount = 150x × 0.9 = Rs. 135x

      Gain made by seller = 135x - 100x = Rs. 35x

      Gain percentage = {(135x - 100x) / 100x} × 100 = 35%
