  1. A seller marks his goods 30% above their cost price but allows 15% discount for cash payment. His percentage of profit when sold in cash is
    1. 10.5%
    2. 15%
    3. 9%
    4. 8.5%
Correct Option: A

Let the C.P. be ₹ 100
∴  Marked price = ₹ 130
S.P. = 85% of ₹ 130

= ₹
85 × 130
= ₹ 110.5
100

∴  Gain percent = 10.5%
2nd method to solve this question.
Here, r = 30%, r1 = 15%
Profit % =
r × (100 − r1)
− r1
100

Profit % =
30 × (100 − 15)
− 15
100

Profit % =
30 × 85
− 15
100

Required Profit % = 25.5 – 15 = 10.5%
