Question

The marked price of a chair is 10 percent more than its cost price. If the chair is sold for Rs. 132 after a discount of Rs. 11, then what will be the profit percentage?

A.

2 percent

B.

1.53 percent

C.

1.78 percent

D.

1.21 percent

Correct option is B

Given:
Marked price (MP) is 10% more than Cost price (CP).
Selling price (SP) = Rs. 132.
Discount = Rs. 11.

Formula Used:

Discount = MP - SP
Profit % = [(SP - CP) / CP] × 100

Solution:
MP = SP + Discount = 132 + 11 = Rs. 143.
Since MP is 10% more than CP, we have:
CP = MP / 1.1 = 143 / 1.1 = Rs. 130.
Profit % = [(132 - 130) / 130] × 100 = (2 / 130) × 100 = 1.53%.
