If 1kg of an article costs Rs.100/-, he get 15% profit so the selling price will be Rs.115/-.
Therefore,
1kg=115
But he sells only 920g for Rs.115/-
so, 1g costs Rs.0.125 (1g=(115/920))
80g=Rs.10/-
So he gets a profit of 10% from the article.
Also, He sells the article with 15% profit.
Therefore,10+15=25%
ANSWER:25% (3)
