If on an item a company gives 25% discount and 25% profit it makes. if they now gives 10% discount then the profit %age made by the company will be...
option
a) 40
b) 55
c) 35
d) 30

• Let the Marked Price of the item is x and the Cost Price be y.
  For 25% discount the Selling price is 0.75x.
  (0.75x-y)/y=0.25 which gives y=0.6x
  next if the SP is 0.9x then
  gain%=(0.9x-y)/y * 100 = (0.9x-0.6x)/0.6x * 100=50%
  hence,profit% = 50%.

• let the marked price is RS 100
  a/c Q selling price = 75 & profit is RS 25
  if give RS 10 discount then we get RS 90
  THEN PROFIT = (25/75)*90= 30 SO 30%

• let item(price)-10 Rs
  company gives 25% discount- 7.5 Rs
  & make profit of 25% means actual price of item is- 5 Rs
  after discount of 10% price of item is- 9 Rs
  now profit %age of company is- (9-5)/10*100=40%

• None of these. it will be 50%.
  Let us consider the seeling price is 100rs.
  then with 25% discount it will cost 75rs.
  company makes 25 % profit so cost to company is 60rs.
  
  now if compny gives 10% discount then selling price is 90rs.
  which is 50% profit over Rs 60.

• We don't need to consider the cost price at all. It is already clued in the question.
  
  1st Part
  When we earn 25% profit by offering 25% discount it means:
  
  Selling price before 25% discount=$100
  Selling price after 25% discount= $75
  So we come to know( as its mentioned in the question) that when we sell certain item with 25% discount or $75 we will get 25% profit.
  
  2nd Part
  Now if we give 10% discount then selling price after 10% discount = $90
  How much profit will we get when we'll sell an item for $90?
  So we need to find the profit by this basic cross multiplication method:
  
  75---25
  90---x
  
  75x= 25*90/75= 30
  
  So our profit will be 30%

• 50 % will be right

• For c.p. = 75, s.p. = 125
  for c.p. = 1, s.p. = 5/3
  So, for c.p. = 90, s.p. = 90x(5/3) = 150
  So profit is (150-100) = 50%
• 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(3) No(3)
• (25x*90)/75=30x
  hence,profit=30
• 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(3) No(3)
• 40%
  cost price=75rs
  price marked by company is 125 rs
  after 25% discount price is=100 rs
  after 10% discount,price is=115 rs
  % profit=115-75=40
• 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(4)
• 60 % is the answer
• 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(13)
• c.p=100%
  s.p=150%,discount=25%
  profit=s.p-(discount+c.p)=25%
  new profit=150%-(10%+100%)=40%

• let the marked price is RS 100
  a/c Q selling price = 75 & profit is RS 25
  if give RS 10 discount then we get RS 90
  THEN PROFIT = (25/75)*90= 30 SO 30%
  
• 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(2)
• Ans b: 55
  Let us assume MRP= Rs.100, 25% discount means C.P.=Rs.75
  Profit 25% means (25/100)*75=Rs.18.25
  Original price= 75 - 18.25 = 56.75
  Now discount is 10 %,then C.P. = 90
  profit = 90 - 56.75 = 33.25 Rs.
  Profit %= (profit/C.P) * 100
  On substituting ,we get around 58%,near is 55%.

• lets Mark price = 100
  after 25% discount = s.p=75
  c.p=x
  x*125%=75
  so, x=60
  Case - 2
  10% discount=90
  profit=30/60 *100
  =50%

• let MP be x. then
  SP=x-25x/100=3x/4
  gain=25
  (sp-cp)/cp=25/100
  (3x/4-cp)/cp=1/4
  cp=3x/5
  
  again
  discount =10%
  sp= x-10x/100=9x/10
  gain= 9x/10-3x/5=3x/10
  gain %= (3x/10)/(3x/5)*100=50%

• my ans is c)35
  if sp=60,cp=90, new dis value=90
  there fore 25% discount of 90=25% profit 0f cp
  10% discount of 90=35% profit of cp

• All given options are wrong
  Ans : 12.5 but this option is not available.
  
• 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• discount+profit=50%
  i.e they show 50% higher than the actual cost
  there fore for 10% discount 40% profit is correct
• 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• 50% is absolutely correct
• 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• 50% it is
