Correct Answer: 8%


Solution : Let the cost price be 100.
Mark price is above 20% = 120
After discount of 10% = $\frac{90}{100}\times120$
Selling price = 108
Profit = Selling price – cost price
= 108 – 100 = 8
Profit percentage = $\frac{\text{Profit}}{\text{Cost price}}\times 100$
= $\frac{8}{100}\times 100$
= 8%
Hence, the correct answer is 8%.
