Question : If the price item is increased by 70% then allow discounts of 5% and 20% on this marked price. If the price is paid in cash and an additional discount of 20% is allowed then what is his gain percentage?
Option 1: 2.25%
Option 2: 4.36%
Option 3: 3.25%
Option 4: 3.36%
Correct Answer: 3.36%
Solution : Let the initial price be 100. Initial price increase by 70% ⇒ New price = 100 + (70% of 100) = 170 Discounts of 5% and 20% ⇒ Discounted Price = 170 – (5% of 170) - 20% of [170 – (5% of 170)] = 161.50 – (20% of 161.50) = 129.20 Additional discount of 20% ⇒ Final Price = 129.20 – (20% of 129.20) = 103.36 Now, Gain percentage = $\frac{\text{Final price - Initial price}}{\text{Initial price}}$ × 100 = $\frac{103.36 - 100}{100}$ × 100 = 3.36% Hence, the correct answer is 3.36%.
