Correct Answer:

30%


Solution : Let the cost price of the article be Rs. 100 and marked price be $y$.
Selling price after discount = selling price after earning profit
So, $y\times\frac{90}{100}=117$
⇒ $y =\frac{117\times 100}{90}=$ Rs. 130
which is 30% more than the cost price.
Hence, the correct answer is 30%.
