    Ajay lists an item at 42% higher

    than its cost price and gives a 20% discount on this marked price. Determine the percentage of profit or loss.
    A 13.6% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 15.5% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 10.2% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 29.9% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, Let the cost price of the item be '100p' Marked price of the item = 100p × 1.42 = Rs. '142p' Selling price = 142p × 0.8 = Rs. '113.6p' Since, cost price is less than selling price, the person has earned a profit of 113.6p - 100p = Rs. '13.6p' % gain = (13.6p/100p) × 100 = 13.6%
