Question : If the marked price is 75% more than the cost price and a discount of 40% is allowed on the marked price, then the percentage profit is:
Option 1: 6%
Option 2: 7%
Option 3: 8%
Option 4: 5%
Correct Answer: 5%
Solution : Let the cost price be 100. The marked price is 75% above the cost price = 175 Discount = 40% Selling price = $\frac{100-\text{discount%}}{100}\times$ marked price = $\frac{100-40}{100}\times175$ = $\frac{60}{100}\times175$ = $105$ Profit = selling price – cost price = 105 – 100 = 5 Profit percentage = $\frac{\text{profit}}{\text{cost price}}\times100=\frac{5}{100}\times100=5\%$ Hence, the correct answer is 5%.
