Solution : Given: A shopkeeper sells a table at a discount of 25% on the marked price and earns a profit of 80%. Let the CP of the table = Rs. 100 Here cost price is denoted by CP, the selling price is denoted by SP, and the marked price is denoted by MP. Profit = $80$% So, the SP = ($100+100×\frac{80}{100}$) = Rs. $180$ There is also a 25% discount on the MP, So, the MP = $180×(\frac{100}{100–25})$ = Rs. $240$ If he sells the same table at a 40% discount, The new SP = $240×(\frac{60}{100})$ = Rs. $144$ So the new profit = $(144–100)$ = Rs. $44$ The new profit % = $\frac{44}{100}\times 100$ = 44% Hence, the correct answer is 44%.
