Question:
A trader marks his goods 30% above the cost price and then allows a discount of 12%. What is his profit percentage?
एक व्यापारी अपने माल पर क्रय मूल्य से 30% अधिक अंकित करता है और फिर 12% की छूट देता है। उसका लाभ प्रतिशत क्या है?
Options:
- a) 14.4%
- b) 15.6%
- c) 16.5%
- d) 18.0%
- a) 14.4%
- b) 15.6%
- c) 16.5%
- d) 18.0%
correct answer : a)
Explanation:
Let CP = 100. MP = 130. Discount = 12% of 130 = 15.6. SP = 130 – 15.6 = 114.4. Profit % = (114.4 – 100) / 100 = 14.4%.
माना CP = 100. MP = 130. छूट = 130 का 12% = 15.6. SP = 130 – 15.6 = 114.4. लाभ % = (114.4 – 100) / 100 = 14.4%.
