Correct Answer: 2%


Solution : Assume the cost price is 100.
He marks up the price by 20%.
So, the marked price is 120.
Now, he gives a 15% discount on the marked price.
So, the selling price $=\frac{(100 - 15) × 120}{100} = \frac{85 × 120}{100} = 102$
So, his profit percentage = (102 – 100) = 2%
Hence, the correct answer is 2%.
