Correct Answer: 24%
Solution : Let the cost price be 100. The marked price is 55% above the cost price = 155 After allowing a discount of 20%, selling price = $\frac{80}{100}\times155=124$ Profit = Selling price – Cost price = 124 – 100 = 24 Profit percentage = $\frac{\text{Profit}}{\text{Cost price}}\times100=\frac{24}{100}\times100=24$% Hence, the correct answer is 24%.
