    Question

    The cost price of a bat is 75% of the marked price. Calculate the gain percentage after allowing a discount of 15%.

    A.

    25.6%

    B.

    13.33%

    C.

    18.16%

    D.

    21.33%

    Correct option is B

    Given:

    The cost price of a bat is 75% of the marked price.
    Discount % = 15%
    Formula Used:
    Selling price = Marked Price - Discount
    Profit = Selling Price - Cost Price
    Profit %=ProfitCost Price×100\text{Profit \%} = \frac{\text{Profit}}{\text{Cost Price}} \times 100​​
    Solution:
    Let the marked price be = 100
    So, the cost price = 100 × 75100\frac{75}{100}​ = 75

    Selling price = 100 - 100 × 15100=85\frac{15}{100} = 85​​
    Profit = 85 - 75 = 10
    Profit percentage = 1075\frac{10}{75}​ × 100
    ∴The profit percent is 13.33%
