Correct Answer: 13.33
Solution : Given: A shopkeeper allowed a 25% discount on the Marked Price of an article and he suffered a loss of 15%. Let the Marked Price be 100 units. After a 25% discount, the selling price = (100 – 25) = 75 units Since, he suffered a loss of 15%, the cost price = $75×(\frac{100}{100-15})$ = $\frac{1500}{17}$ units Now, if the selling price is 100 units, Then, the profit is $=(100-\frac{1500}{17})=\frac{200}{17}$ units So, the profit percentage = $\frac{\frac{200}{17}}{\frac{1500}{17}}×100$ = 13.33% Hence, the correct answer is 13.33.
