Assume Marked price=100
selling price=75
Profit is 25% then original C.P=100/125*75=60
Therefore C.P=60
For 10% discount S.P=90
Profit=s.p-c.p=90-60
Therefore Profit=30.

25% discount means sp=75
if he sold at 75 he got 25% profit
so (25)=(100*gain)/75
gain=18.75
gain=sp-cp
(75-cp)=18.75
cp=75-18.75=56.25
10% discount means sp= 90
gain%=(100*(90-56.25))/56.25
gain=60

sai charan  (8 years ago)

market price=100
sp=75
discount=25%
(100/125)*75
cp=60%
mp=100,cp=60%,sp=75%
mp=100
sp=100*0.9=90%
profit=90-60=30%
so,percentage in profit 100*30/60=50%

200-25%of200=150
150/125*100=120 =costprice=60per 100

=90/60=150% so profit =50%=30 RS

mohit sharma  (8 years ago)

et the selling price is 100 Rs.

On giving 25 % discount the price will be 75,on selling the object in 75 rupee profit = 25 % so original

cost will be 75*100/125 = 60

Now on giving 10 % discount selling cost will be 90 it means 30 rupee gain on an investment of 60

Rs.

So profit on investment = 30*100/60 = 50 % (correct answer)

Solutionlet the selling price is 100 rupee
on giving 25 % discount the price will be 75,on selling the object in 75 rupee profit = 25 % so original cost will be 75*100/125 = 60
now on giving 10 % discount selling cost will be 90 it means 30 rupee gain on an investment of 60 rupee so profit on investment = 30*100/60 = 50 % (correct answer)
none of the option is correct
if we calculate profit % on the basis of print price then it will be 30*100/100 = 30
