Question

The marked price of an article is 60 percent more than its cost price. If 20 percent discount is given, then what will be the profit percentage?

A.

33 percent

B.

34 percent

C.

28 percent

D.

30 percent

Correct option is C


Given:
Marked Price (MP) = 160% of Cost Price (CP)
Discount = 20%
Formula Used:
Profit Percentage = (Selling Price - Cost Price) / Cost Price × 100
Solution:
Let the CP = Rs.100
MP = 100 + (60/100 × 100)
= Rs160
Discount = 20/100 × Rs160
= Rs32
SP=MP−Discount
SP = Rs (160−32)
= Rs128
Profit = Rs (128−100)
= Rs28
Profit%
= (28/100×100)%
=28%
