$S.P.$ $=$ $C.P.$ $\left(1+\frac{x}{100}ight)$ where $x$ is profit $\%$

$	herefore \quad 300= C \cdot P \cdot\left(1+\frac{20}{100}ight)$

or $C.P. =\frac{300}{1.2}=Rs. 250$

After discount, $S.P.$ $=300 	imes\left(1-\frac{10}{100}ight)=Rs. 270$

$	herefore \quad \operatorname{Gain} \%=\frac{ S.P. - C.P. }{ C.P. } 	imes 100$

$=\frac{270-250}{250} 	imes 100=8 \%$
