Correct Answer: 10%
Solution : Given: A dealer marks his goods 20% above their cost price (CP). Then he allows such a discount on the marked price (MP) that he makes a profit of 8%. Let the CP = Rs. 100 Then, the MP = (100 + 20) = Rs. 120 Now profit = 8% So, selling price (SP) = (100 + 8) = Rs. 108 Discount percentage = $\frac{\text{Marked Price – Selling Price}}{\text{Marked Price}}×100$% = $(\frac{120-108}{120})×100$ = 10% Hence, the correct answer is 10%.
