Question : The marked price of an article is 50% more than its cost price. If a 20% discount is given, then what will be the profit percentage?
Option 1: 20%
Option 2: 25%
Option 3: 30%
Option 4: 50%
Correct Answer: 20%
Solution : Given: The marked price of an article is 50% more than its cost price. Let the cost price be 100 units. So, the marked price is 100 + 50 = 150 20% discount is given, So, selling price is $\frac{100-20}{100}×150=120$ $\therefore$ Profit = (Selling Price – Cost Price) = 120 – 100 = 20 So, the profit percentage is 20%. Hence, the correct answer is 20%.
