Correct Answer: 60%
Solution : Given: A trader allows a tread discount of 20% and a cash discount of $6\frac{1}{4}=\frac{25}{4}$% on the marked price of the goods and gets a net gain of 20% of the cost. Substitute the given values in the formula, net discount = $x+y-\frac{xy}{100}$% $=20+\frac{25}{4}-\frac{20\times25}{100\times4}$ = $20+\frac{25-5}{4}=20+5$ $=25$% According to the question, Let the cost price be 100, then the selling price should be 120 with a profit of 20%. So, marked price $= \frac{120}{75}×100 = 160$ So, the required percentage $= \frac{160-100}{100}\times100=60$% Hence, the correct answer is $60$%.
