    If these 40 chairs are sold after giving a discount of 1%, find the profit percentage.
    A 8% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 7.25% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 10% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 5% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let marked price of each chair = x

    C.P of 40 Chairs = M.P of 36 chairs = 36x

    S.P of 40 chairs = 40*(1 - 1/100)x = 39.6x

    Profit percentage = 100*(39.6 - 36)/36 = 3.6*100/36 = 10%
