Answer»

According to the given information,

LET’s assume the list price to be Rs. ‘x’

Then Selling price = x - 25% of x = 0.75x

Loss of 5% was incurred.

⇒ - 0.05 = SP/CP - 1

⇒ SP/CP = 1 - 0.05

⇒ CP = SP/0.95

⇒ CP = 0.75x/0.95 = 15x/19

When the merchant SELLS at 10% DISCOUNT,

⇒ SP = x - 10% of x = 0.9x

⇒ Profit or Loss = $(\frac{{0.9x}}{{\frac{{15x}}{{19}}}} - 1c)$ = 1.14 - 1 = 0.14

∴ 14% profit RESULTED on 10% discount on list price
