Question

Poorna bought 25 saree at a discount of 20% and 1 saree was freely offered to her. Now she sells all the saree at the marked price to a customer. What is profit percentage of retailer?

• A. 25%
• B. 30%
• C. 40%
• D. 20%

Answer 1

The correct option is B 30%

Let price of 1 saree $=x$

Price of 25 sarees $=25x$

per saree, $20$% discount

Discount price for retailer $=20$%$\left(25x\right)=5x$

Cost price for retailer $=25x-5x=20x$

Total selling price $=25x+x=26x$

Profit percentage $=\frac{26x-20x}{20x}\times 100=30$%

Hence, this is the answer.
