Question
A shopkeeper marks an article 40% above its cost price
and then allows a discount of 10% on the marked price. What is his profit percentage?Solution
ATQ, Let cost price (CP) = Rs. 100 Marked price (MP) = 40% above CP = 100 + 40 = Rs. 140 Discount = 10% of 140 = 14 Selling price (SP) = 140 − 14 = Rs. 126 Profit = SP − CP = 126 − 100 = Rs. 26 Profit% = (26 / 100) × 100 = 26%
