Correct Answer: $33\frac{1}{3}\%$
Solution : The marked price of the dining table = Rs. 3000 After the successive discount, the cost price becomes = $3000×\frac{100-10}{100}×\frac{100-15}{100}$ = $3000×\frac{90}{100}×\frac{85}{100}$ = Rs. $2295$ After transportation charges the total cost price = 2295 + 105 = Rs. 2400 The selling price = Rs. 3200 Profit percentage = $\frac{\text{Selling price – Cost price}}{\text{Cost price}}×100 = \frac{3200-2400}{2400}×100= \frac{800}{2400}×100= 33\frac{1}{3}\%$ Hence, the correct answer is $33\frac{1}{3}\%$.
