Correct Answer: 30.56%
Solution : Let the marked price be $100x$. Cost price $= \frac{72}{100} \times 100x = 72x$ Selling price after a discount of 6% $= 100x - \frac{6}{100} \times 100x = 94x$ Profit $= 94x - 72x = 22x$ Profit % $= \frac{22x}{72x} \times 100 = 30.56$% Hence, the correct answer is 30.56%.
