Correct Answer: 42$\frac{6}{7}$%
Solution : Given: Discount = 30% Let the marked price be 100. 30% discount on marked price = $\frac{30}{100}$ × 100 = 30. Hence, discount = 30. Now, cost price of the retailer = selling price of the company = marked price – discount = (100 – 30) = 70 According to the question, Selling price of the retailer = marked price So, the selling price of the retailer = 100 and the cost price = 70. Now, profit = (selling price – cost price) = 100 – 70 = 30. ⇒ Profit % = $\frac{\text{Profit}}{\text{Cost Price}}$ × 100% = $\frac{30}{70}$ × 100 = $\frac{3000}{70}$ = 42$\frac{6}{7}$% Hence, the correct answer is 42$\frac{6}{7}$%.
