Correct Answer: 17%


Solution : Let the cost price be 100.
So, marked price = 100 + 30 = 130
Selling price = $\frac{100-10}{100}×130=117$
$\therefore$ Profit percentage = $\frac{\text{Selling price – Cost price}}{\text{Cost price}}×100=\frac{117-100}{100}×100=17\%$
Hence, the correct answer is 17%.
