SSC Selection Post - Matriculation Level - 3 Feb 2022 - Shift 2 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q53

A shopkeeper marks his goods 25% above the cost price and allow 20% discount. Find his profit percentage.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 0%.

Let the cost price of the goods be 100x.

Now, MP = 125x

So, SP = MP × (100 - D)/100

⇒ SP = 125x × 80/100 

⇒ SP = 100x

Profit % = 100x - 100x = 0%
