A trader marked the price of a commodity so as to include a profit of 25%, but allowed a discount of 16% on the marked price. His actual profit will be
-
- 16%
- 25%
- 5%
- 9%
Correct Option: C
Suppose C.P. of article = $ 100
Marked price = $ 125
| S.P. = | = $ 105 | 100 |
Gain = S.P. - C.P. = 105 - 100 = 5
| Gain percent = | × 100 = 5% | 100 |
Second Method to solve this question :
Here , a = 25% , b = 16%
| ∴ Gain % = a - b - | 100 |
| Gain percent = |  | 25 - 16 - | 25 × 16 |  | % = 5% | |
| 100 |
