पर्याय

• 10.5%

• 15%

• 9 %

• 8.5%

Answer 1

10.5%
Explanation : 
Let CP of the goods= ₹ x

∴ The marked price of the goods = `(x xx(100+30))/100`

= ₹`(13x)/10`

Now, SP of the goods = `(13x)/10xx((100-5)/100)`

= `(13x)/10xx85/100=₹221/200`

⇒ Profit = `(221/200xx-x)= ₹221/200x`

 Hence, profit percent = `(21/200x)/x xx100`

= `2100/200 = 10.5%`
