every year before the festive season,a shopkeeper increases the price of the product by 35% and then introduce two successive discount of 10% and 15% respectively.what is percentage loss and percentage gain?
a. 3.27% loss
b. 3.27% gain
c. no profit,loss
d. 8.875% loss
e. 8.875% gain

• Ans:b>3.27 % gain
  let cp= 100,
  35 % increase in sp=135
  10 % discount in 135((135*10)/100)=13.5
  so 1st sp=(135-13.5)=121.5, again 15 % discount in 1st sp((121.5*15)/100)=18.225
  2nd sp=(121.5-18.225)=103.275, so finally cp=100,sp=103.275 ,gain by 3.27%

• cp=100;
  135*90/100=121.5
  121.5*85/100=103.275
  now, 100-103.275=3.275 gain

• lets assume the price to be 100
  increase in 35% is 135rs
  then discount of 10% give you 90% of 135rs i,e 121.5rs
  then next discount of 15% ie 85% of 121.5 is 103.275
  therefore we get a profit of 3.275
