A trader marks his goods at 225% above the cost price and offers a discount of 55% on the marked price. Find his profit percentage.

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Let the Cost Price (CP) = 100 . Markup = 225% above CP. Marked Price (MP) = CP + 225% of CP MP = 100 + 225 = 325 Now, a discount of 55% is offered on the MP. Discount = 55% of 325 = \frac{55}{100} \times 325 Discount = 0.55 \times 325 = 178.75 Selling Price (SP) = MP - Discount SP = 325 - 178.75 = 146.25 Profit = SP - CP = 146.25 - 100 = 46.25 Profit Percentage = \frac{46.25}{100} \times 100 = 46.25%
