    Solution

    ATQ,

    Find the cost price (CP): 1.1×CP = 17,600 CP = 16,000 Find the marked price (MP): 0.88×MP = 17,600 MP = 20,000 Profit if no discount: Profit = 20,000 − 16,000 = 4,000 Profit percentage: (4,000/16,000) × 100 = 25%

    If no discount was given, the profit percentage would be 25%.
