Question

Marked price of a Doll is 35% above the cost price. If he gives a discount of 15%, how much he gains on the deal?

• A. 14.75%
• B. 14.5%
• C. 14%
• D. 15%

Answer 1

Answer:

A. 14.75%

Let CP of the doll is Rs 100. Then marked price = Rs 100 + 35 % of 100 ⇒ 100 + 35 ⇒ 135 Now we have SP after 15% discount = 135 – 15% of 135 ⇒ 135 – (15% × 135) ⇒ 135 – 20.25 ⇒ 114.75 Profit Percentage = {(SP - CP)/CP} × 100 ⇒ {(114.75 – 100)/100} × 100 ⇒ 14.75%
