Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
- Let the cost price of an article be Rs. 100.
Then, selling price = Rs. 117
Now, marked price of the article
$ =117+\frac{117}{9}=Rs.,130 $
Profit per cent, when the article is sold at marked price $ =\frac{130-100}{100}\times 100=\frac{30}{100}\times 100=30 $ %
