c) 9.5%
d) 20.5%

• suppose the price of shoes is 100rs then profit=130

• CP= 100
  MP=130
  SP=(85/100)*130
  = 110.5
  Profit=110.5-100=10.5

• 130*85/100=110.5

• let CP be x
  SP 1.3x
  Discount = .15*1.3x
  SP after discount = 1.3x-(.15*1.3x)= 1.105x
  Profit=SP-CP
  =1.105x-x=.105x
  Profit%=.105x/x*100=10.5

• its very simple,100+30=130,then 130-(15%0f 130),i.e 19.5,then answer will 110.5,it means profit of 10.5%
