A store sells item for ₹W at 20% profit. During sale, marked price becomes ₹1.5W, discount 15%. Profit % during sale?

Question

Accepted Answer

1. Cost price: since selling at 20% profit and SP = ₹W, $CP=\frac{W}{1.2}=\frac{5W}{6}$.  
2. Sale price: new marked price = $1.5W$, after 15% discount $SP=1.5W	imes0.85=1.275W$.  
3. Profit %: $\dfrac{SP-CP}{CP}	imes100=\left(1.275\div\dfrac{5}{6}-1ight)	imes100=(1.275	imes1.2-1)	imes100=53\%$.
