A table costs ₹2,250, which is 25% below the marked price. If the article is sold at a discount of 18% on the marked price, then what is the profit or loss percentage? (Correct to two decimal places).

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. Profit of 9.33%.

Cost Price (CP) = ₹2,250

CP = 75% of MP

⇒ 2250 = 7510075\over100 × MP

⇒ MP = 3000

⇒ SP = 82100×3000{82\over100}\times3000 = 82 × 30 = 2460

Profit% = 2460−22502250×100{2460-2250\over2250}\times100 = 9.33%
