If on an item a shop gives 25% discount, they earn 25%
profit. If they now give 10% discount then what is the
profit percentage

Answer Posted / 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%...
