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 / lalitha

marked price-discount= selling price-profit=cost price

selling price= (100+ profit%) of cp
also,selling price= (100-discount%) of marked price

75% of mp= 125% of cp
9o% of mp= ?% of cp
?%= (90 x 125)/75
= 150%
so sp=150% of cp.
therefore, profit =50%
