  1. A shopkeeper marks his sarees at 20% above the cost price and allows the purchaser a discount of 10% for cash buying. What profit percent does he make?
    1. 18%
    2. 12%
    3. 10%
    4. 8%
Correct Option: D

As we know that ,

Gain % = a − b −
a × b
100

Gain % = 20 − 10 −
20 × 10
100

2nd method to solve this question .
Here, r = 20%, r1 = 10%
Profit or loss =
r × (100 − r1)
− r1
100

Profit or loss =
20 × (100 − 10)
− 10
100

Required Profit or loss = 18 – 10 = 8% profit.
