    Question

    The cost price of a washing machine is Rs. 15,000. The

    washing machine is marked 25% above its cost price and sold after a discount of Rs. 1,500. If the cost price had been Rs. 3,000 less but sold for the same price, then what would be the percentage of profit earned?
    A 33.33% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 53.85% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 43.85% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 66.67% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Selling price of the washing machine = 15,000 × 1.25 - 1,500 = Rs. 17,250

    So, required percentage = {(17,250 - 12,000) ÷ 12,000} × 100 = 43.75%
