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%.
