Question : If the marked price is 75% more than the cost price and a discount of 40% is allowed on the marked price, then the percentage profit is:

Option 1: 6%

Option 2: 7%

Option 3: 8%

Option 4: 5%

Team Careers360 23rd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 5%


Solution : Let the cost price be 100.
The marked price is 75% above the cost price = 175
Discount = 40%
Selling price = $\frac{100-\text{discount%}}{100}\times$ marked price
= $\frac{100-40}{100}\times175$
= $\frac{60}{100}\times175$
= $105$
Profit = selling price – cost price = 105 – 100 = 5
