When a discount of 20% is given on a sweater, the profit is 28%. If the discount is 14%, then the profit is
-
- 42 percent
- 46.4 percent
- 33.2 percent
- 37.6 percent
Correct Option: D
Let the C.P. of sweater be Rs. 100 and its marked price be Rs. x.
According to the question,
| x × | = 128 | |
| 100 |
| ⇒ x × | = 128 | |
| 5 |
| ⇒ x = | = Rs. 160 | |
| 4 |
When discount = 14%, then
S.P. of sweater
= 160 × (100 – 1(4)%
| = | = Rs. 137.6 | |
| 100 |
∵ C.P. = Rs. 100
∴ Profit per cent = 37.6%
