    Question

    An item priced at Rs. 1,500 has a

    markup of 36% on its cost price and is sold with two successive discounts: the first being 15% and the second being Rs. 144. What is the profit percentage earned from selling the item?
    A 5% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 6% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 8% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 2% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Marked price of the item = 1500 × 1.36 = Rs. 2,040 Selling price of the item = 2040 × 0.85 – 144 = 1734 – 144 = Rs. 1,590 So, profit % = {(1590 – 1500) ÷ 1500} × 100 = 6%
