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%.
