Question : 13 of 100

Marks: +1, -0

The marked price of an article is

10/7

of the cost price and the selling price of that article is

4/5

of the marked price. What is the profit percentage?

Solution:

Let cost price of article = Rs.70
⇒ Marked price =

10/7 ×70 = Rs. 100

Similarly, selling price =

4/5 × 100 = Rs. 80

∴ Profit % =

(80−70)/70 ×100 = 14.28%
