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%

• ans is d)30%
  assume 100 rs product
  25%discount means selling price is rs.75
  discount 10% means selling price is 90.
  in rs.75 we get 25%of discount
  at 90?
  that is
  75 25%
  90 x
  cross multiply
  x*75=25*90
  x=25*90/75
  x=30%

• Let the marked price be rs.200.
  After 25% discount price will be rs.150.
  125% of x=150... so x=120
  now if discount of 10% is given, price will be rs.180.
  profit=180-120=60.
  hence profit% = 60/120*100 =50%

• 40% profit.
  let the price of the item be 100.
  25% discount 75
  still 25% profit so the cp of the item is 50.
  so when they give 10% discount i.e 90/- they earn 40% profit.

• Assume product rate =100
  then Sell price = 75
  let CP = x
  then 125% of x =75
  by solving it x=60
  Now discount =10%
  Sell price =90
  profit=90-60=30
  profit %=50 %

• Let the cp be 100Rs
  discount is 25%, so the selling price is=75 rs
  but. the seller earns profit of 25%...,
  Therfore,
  x+(25x/100)=75
  x=60 Rs.
  Now, If 10% discount is given for the item..,
  then the selling price =90Rs
  P%=((SP-CP)/CP)*100
  =(90-60/60)*100
  P%=50%

• suppose price=100rs
  25%discount= 75
  profit=25% then cp= 60
  now 10%discount=90
  profit=30/60*100 == 50 % ans

• Suppose cost price of item is 100
  if company want to get 25% profit they should sell in rs. 125
  Means mark price should be 166 so giving 25% discount on it gives selling price 125 rs.
  --------------------------------------------------
  now 10% discount on 166 gives selling price 149.60 (approx..)
  so,149.60-100=profit

• if mp=100
  discount=25
  sp=75
  in this sp they earn 25% profit
  so 125% of x=75
  =>x=50 i.e cost price.
  again in sp there is 10% discount i.e 7.5 =>75-7.5-67.5
  profit=17.5
  profit%=17.5/50 *100 =35%

• 40%
  discount - 25%+ profit 25 = 50%
  so 50-10= 40

• ans-(c)35%
  let cost.price=100
  so,profit=sell.price-c.p; 25=s.p-100; s.p=125;
  now, discount=25;
  
  dis=mark.price-s.p;
  25=m.p-125;
  m.p=150;
  
  again , dis=10%of m.p
  =>150*10/100
  =>15
  so, now s.p=150-15=135
  so,profit=s.p-c.p
  =>135-100=35
  and profit %=((profit* 100)/c.p)%
  =35*100/100
  =35%
