Sample question from this paper
Profit & Loss · medium
A shopkeeper marks the price of an article 40% above its cost price. He then offers two successive discounts of 10% and 5% on the marked price. What is his overall percentage profit?
- A. 18%
- B. 19.7%
- C. 20%
- D. 21.3%
Show answer and solution
Answer: B
Let cost price = 100. Marked price = 140. After a 10% discount: 140 × 0.9 = 126. After a further 5% discount: 126 × 0.9 5 = 119.7. Since cost was 100, profit = 19.7%. Shortcut: net multiplier = 1.4 × 0.9 × 0.95 = 1.197, so profit = 19.7%. Option (c) 20% is the trap if one forgets the second discount is on the already-discounted price.
