    Question

    Deepak bought product A and marked them at 22% higher price than the cost price. Finally he sold the product at 15% discount. What will be the profit or loss percentage?

    A.

    3.7% loss

    B.

    5.8% loss

    C.

    3.7 % profit

    D.

    5.7% profit

    Correct option is C

    Given:
    Cost Price (CP) = x
    Marked Price (MP) = CP + 22% of CP
    Discount = 15% of MP
    Formula Used:
    Selling Price (SP) = MP - Discount
    Profit or Loss Percentage = SPCPCP×100\frac{SP - CP}{CP} \times 100​​
    Solution:
    MP = x+22100×x x + \frac{22}{100} \times x​​
    MP = 1.22x
    SP = MP - 15100×MP\frac{15}{100} \times MP​​
    SP = 1.22x - 0.183x
    SP = 1.037x
    Profit Percentage = 1.037xxx×100\frac{1.037x - x}{x} \times 100​​
    Profit Percentage = 3.7%
    Therefore, the profit percentage is 3.7%.
