The marked price of an article is 28% higher than its cost price. Find the profit or loss percentage if the shopkeeper gives a 25% discount.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. Loss: 4%.

Let CP = 100

SP after 25% discount = 128 × 0.75 = 96

Loss = 100 - 96 = 4%
