If on an item a company gives 25% discount, they earn 25% profit. If they now give 10% discount then what is the profit percentage.
(a) 40%
(b) 55%
(c) 35%
(d) 30%

• let the cp=100
  so sp=125
  let markd price=m
  sp=0.75m /*discount is always on markd price*/
  therefore,0.75m=125
  or,m=125/0.75
  now,for 10% discount
  sp=90% of m=0.9*125/0.75=150
  profit=150-100=50
  profit %=50/100*100=50%
  answer is 50%
  options are wrong.

• Let marked price=100
  Discount is 25%
  Selling price=100-25=75
  
  Again discount is 10%
  Selling price=100-10=90
  
  Selling price 75 gives 25% profit
  Therefore selling price 90 gives:
  (25/75)*90 = 30%
  Ans:- (d)30%

• let marked price =100
  so 25% discount on mp=75
  on selling at 75 they earn 25% profit so cp=(100/125)*75=60
  if they give 10% discount
  sp=90
  profit percent =(sp-cp/cp)*100
  =>90-60/60*100=50%
  soo options r wrong

• initially suppose selling price = 100
  for 100 rs 25 % discount =75
  then 10 % discount = 90
  for (25 % discount) 75 profit 25 %
  for (10 % discount) 90 profit ?
  90 * 25 /75
  = 30 % profit
  option (d )............

• let item of rs 100
  discount of 25% then s.p.=75
  75-c.p.=25/100*c.p
  c.p=60
  now discount =10%
  s.p = 90
  s.p-c.p=30 which is 50% of c.p =profit %

• profit percent =(sp-cp/cp)*100
  =>90-60/60*100=50%
• 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• Let the market price=100
  after 20% discount, sp=75
  now cp=(100/125)*75=60
  again discount 10%,dats mean sp=90
  so,profit=90-60=30%
