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%.
