The marked price of an article is 25% more than its cost price. If 10% discount is given on the marked price. then what is the profit percentage ?1. 12.5%2. 11.5%3. 12%4. 10%

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : 12.5%

Calculation:

Let the cost price of the article be Rs.100

Then, the marked price of the article = 100 × (125/100) = Rs.125

Discount of 10% given on marked price 

Selling price of the article = 125 × (90/100) = Rs.112.5

Profit percentage = (SP – CP/CP) × 100 

∴ Profit percentage = {(112.5 – 100)/100} × 100 = 12.5%
