Solution

Let the cost price of good be $C$
His actual cost price = $C \times \frac{10}{12}$ since he get 20% more
Then Marked price = $\frac{18}{10} C$
Sale price = $\frac{18}{10} C$ $\times \frac{3}{4}$
Actual sale price = $\frac{18}{10} C$ $\times \frac{3}{4}$ $\times \frac{10}{9}$ since he gives 10% less
So Overall profit percentage = $\frac{200}{3}$ %
