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 / akshay bhan
let c.p =100,so 25% profit s.p.=125
now let
m.p =100,so 25 %discount s.p=75
now in terms of proportions
C.P S.P. M.P.
100 125 x
75 100
find x
x=125*100/75=166.6666
M.P.=166.666
no reducing 10% would give us S.P.=166.666-16.6666=150
new S.P. =150
C.P.=100
profit=150-100/100=50%
correct me where i'm wrong
