Answer / vikram
let the selling price be 100 rs..
less 25% discount gives 75 rs...
and he gets 25% in 75(75*25= 18.75)..
So the cp is 56.25......
if sells for 100 less 10 % gives us 90 rs..
so sp-cp(90-56.25) = 33.75( 90*x/100=33.75)
x = 37.5
the answer is 37.5%...

Answer / vikram
suppose if we consider 100rs as selling price
and seller gives 25% discount so the amount will be 75 on
which he earns 25% profit i.e., 18.75rs.
therefore the cost price is 75 - 18.75 = 56.75rs.
so, if now he gives 10% discount then he sells the product
at 90rs. so his profit portion is (90 - 56-75) = 33.25rs
i.e., 37.50 %

Answer / mohan
Let capital be 125(Manufacturing price + profit)
Manufacturing price (MP): 100
With Profit 25% (MP + profit) = 125
Selling price (SP) = 125 + (25 * 125/100) = 125 + 31
(approx) = 156
After discount of 10% on SP profit will be
156 - 156 * 10/100 = 140 (approx)
profit = SP - MP
140 - 100 = 40 ( i.e., 40%)

Answer / nagraj
Consider the rate of item as 'x'
then discount of 25%= (75*x)/100=3*x/4
Now 3x/4 is the sold price.
but he will get a profit of 25% so
the cost price is(y) => (125%y)/100=3x/4
=> y =3x/5
Now he sell at 10% discount then cost price = 90*x/100=9x/10
Hence the % profit= (9x/10-3x/50)/(3x/5)
=50%
For example: 200 rp item. 25% discount means
75% of 200 is 150
so now 125% of actual cost price=150
so actual rate is=120
now 10% 200 is 20 rp so sold price=180
now (180-120)*100/120=50%

Answer / amit jain
Lets Assume the selling price is 100
After 25% discount, the selling price is 75
when sold in 75, the profit % is 25
So the net profit is 75*25/100=18.75
so the cost price is 75-18.75 = 56.25
Now when 10% discount is given, the selling price is 90
cost price from above is 56.25
profit is 90 - 56.25 = 33.75
profit % is 56.25*X/100 = 33.75
X = 33.75*100/56.25
X= 60%
So the net profit is 60% when sold in 10% discount
