A shopkeeper sold an article for $Rs.\, 400$ after giving $20 \%$ discount on the labelled price and made $30 \%$ profit on the cost price. What would have been the percentage profit, had he not given the discount?

$25$

$35$

$50$

$62.5$

Solution

In this question, you don't need to solve in multiple steps to first find $MP,$ then $CP$ etc. In such questions if we need to find profit $\%$ if no discount is given, then formula is

Profit $\%=\frac{(\text { Discount } \%)+(\text { Profit } \% \text { earlier })}{(100- Discount \%)} \times 100$

$=\frac{20+30}{100-20} \times 100=62.5 \%$
