Read Solution (Total 2)

13.34%

(100-9)% of SP =(100+3.14)% of CP
91% of SP=103.14% of CP
SP=100*(103.14/91)% of CP= 113.34% CP
So With no discount profit earned=113.34-100= 13.34%

Discount is always on SP.
Profit is always on CP.
Thus, (100-9)% of SP =(100+3.14)% of CP
91% of SP=103.14% of CP
SP=100*(103.14/91)% of CP= 113.34% CP
So With no discount profit earned=113.34-100= 13.34%
