Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : 40 Given: Marked price of the table = ₹ 5000 Successive discount = 22 percent and 37 percent Selling price of the table = ₹ 4200 Transportation charges = ₹ 543
Formula used: Profit = Selling price – Cost price Discount = Marked price – Selling price Profit percentage = (Profit/Cost price) × 100 Discount percentage = (Discount/Marked price) × 100
Calculation: Cost price of the table = 5000 × [(100 – 22)/100] × [(100 – 37)/100] ⇒ 5000 × (78/100) × (63/100) = 2457 Total cost price of the table = 2457 + 543 = 3000 Profit on table = 4200 – 3000 = 1200 Profit percentage = (1200/3000) × 100 = 40% ∴ The profit percentage after selling the table is 40%. |
