Problema Solution

If on an item a company gives 25% discount, they earn 25% profit. If they now give 10% discount then what is the profit

percentage.   

Answer provided by our tutors

Let written price = $100

Discount = 25% of 100 = $25

Selling price = $100 - $25 = $75


Discount = 10% of $100 = $10

Selling price = $100 - $10 = $90


Selling price $75 gives 25% profit

Therefore selling price $90 gives

25/75 * 90 = 30% profit
