Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
- Single discount corresponding to 10% and 15% $ =10+15-\frac{10\times 15}{100}=23.5 $ % Given, MP = Rs. 200 Discount = 23.5% Money spent on transport = Rs. 7
$ \therefore $ $ CP=76.5% $ of $ 200+7=\frac{76.5}{100}\times 200+7=Rs.160 $ $ SP=Rs.208 $
$ \therefore $ Percentage of profit $ =\frac{208-160}{160}\times 100 $ $ =\frac{48\times 100}{160}=30 $ %
