Question

If the makeup percentage of an article is 50% and discount is also 20%, then the profit percentage will be ..........

• A. 10%
• B. 0%
• C. 30%
• D. 20%

Answer 1

The correct option is D 20%

Let us assume cost price =$Rs100$
Makeup percentage of an article = $50$
Marked price =$100+100\times \frac{50}{100}=150$
Discount = $20$

$\text{Selling price}$=$\text{Marked price}-\text{Marked price}\times \text{Discount}$%

$S=150-150\times \frac{20}{100}$

$S=150-30=120$

$\text{Profit Percentage}$= $\frac{\left(\text{Selling Price - Cost Price}\right)}{\text{cost price}}$ $\times 100$

$P$%=$\frac{(120-100)}{100}\times 100$

P %=$20$ %

Answer (D) $20$%
