The marked price of an article is 160 percent of the cost price. If 20 percent discount is given, then what will be the profit percentage?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 28 percent.
Given that
M.P = 160% of C.P
Let C.P be x
S.P after the discount = 0.8 × 1.6 × x = 1.28x
Profit = 1.28x - x = 0.28x
Profit percentage = × 100 = 28%
