• CP=100,
  MP=125
  for cash payment,SP= 125-(10/100)*125=112.5
  thus SP of 2 goods=2*112.5
  for credits,SP=125-(4/100)*125=120
  thus SP of 1 goods=120
  therefore SP of 3 goods=Rs(112.5*2 +120)= Rs345
  CP of 3 goods=Rs125*#=Rs375
  hence loss=Rs(375-345)= Rs30
  therefore loss %= 30/375*100= 8%

• cost priceabove 25 % =125
  2/3 of his goods on cash 10% discount=112.50+112.50
  1/3 of his goods on credit 4% discount=120
  total per gain=112.50+112.50+120
  375-345=30/125*100=24
  24% gain

• let the cost price of one item is x
  then the price that the trader marks is x+(25/100)x=1.25x
  for cash payments, 1.25x -(10/100)1.25x =1.125x
  for credit payments, 1.25x-(4/100)1.25x=1.2x
  Total selling price= 2/3*(1.125x)+ 1/3*(1.2x)=1.15x
  profit percentage=(1.15x-x/x)*100=15%
