Question:
A painting was purchased for Rs. 12,500. It was marked at a price 32% higher than its cost price and then sold at a discount of 15% on the marked price. What was the percentage profit or loss in the transaction?
एक पेंटिंग 12,500 रुपये में खरीदी गई थी। इसका मूल्य इसके क्रय मूल्य से 32% अधिक अंकित किया गया और फिर अंकित मूल्य पर 15% की छूट पर बेचा गया। सौदे में प्रतिशत लाभ या हानि क्या थी?
Options:
- 10% Profit
- 12.2 % Profit
- 8.8% Loss
- 6% Profit
- 10% लाभ
- 12.2% लाभ
- 8.8% हानि
- 6% लाभ
Correct Answer: b)
Explanation:
Net profit percentage = \(x + y + \dfrac{xy}{100} = 32 – 15 – \dfrac{32 \times 15}{100} = 17 – 4.8 = 12.2\%\) Profit.
शुद्ध लाभ प्रतिशत = \(32 – 15 – \dfrac{32 \times 15}{100} = 17 – 4.8 = 12.2\%\) लाभ।
