Correct Answer: 9.25%
Solution : Let Rs. 100 be the cost price. Marked price = 115% of cost price = Rs. 115 Discount = 5% of marked price = $\frac{5}{100}×115$ = Rs. 5.75 Selling price = 115 – 5.75 = 109.25 So, the profit = 109.25 – 100 = 9.25 Therefore, the profit percentage = $\frac{9.25}{100}×100$ = 9.25% Hence, the correct answer is 9.25%.
