A trader sells his goods at a discount 20%. He still makes a profit of 25%. If he sells the goods at the marked price only, his profit will be:
A. 56.25%
B. 25.56%
C. 50.25%
D. 54.25%
Answer: Option A
Solution(By Examveda Team)
Let the marked price = Rs. 100 Then, SP = 100 - 20% of 100 = Rs. 80 Profit = 25% Let His CP = X SP = 80 X + 25% of X = 80 Hence, X = Rs. $$\frac{{100 \times 80}}{{125}}$$ = Rs. 64 CP = Rs. 64 Profit after selling on marked price = 100 - 64 = Rs. 36 % gain = $$\frac{{36 \times 100}}{{64}}$$ = 56.25%Join The Discussion
