  • Every year before the festive season,a shopkeeper increases the price of the product by 35% and then introduce two successive discount of 10% and 15% respectively.what is percentage loss and percentage gain ?


  • Options
  • A. 3.27 % loss
  • B. 4.15 % loss
  • C. 3.27 % gain
  • D. 4.15 % gain

  • Correct Answer
  • 3.27 % gain 

    Explanation

    Let cp= 100,
    35 % increase in sp=135
    10 % discount in 135((135*10)/100)=13.5
    so 1st sp=(135-13.5)=121.5, again 15 % discount in 1st sp((121.5*15)/100)=18.225
    2nd sp=(121.5-18.225)=103.275,

    so finally cp=100,sp=103.275 ,gain by 3.27%
