Question : A tradesman marks his goods at 26% above the cost price. He allows his customers a discount of 12% on the marked price. His profit percentage is:
Option 1: 10.88%
Option 2: 11.08%
Option 3: 10.50%
Option 4: 10%
Correct Answer: 10.88%
Solution :
Let the cost price be 100.
So, marked price = 100 + 26 = 126
He allows his customers a discount of 12% on the marked price.
$\therefore$ Selling price = $\frac{100-12}{100}×126=110.88$
$\therefore$ Profit percentage $=\frac{110.88-100}{100}×100=10.88\%$
Hence, the correct answer is 10.88%.
