An uneducated retailer marks all his goods at 50% above the cost price and thinking that he will still make 25% profit, offers a discount of 25% on the marked price. What is his actual profit on the sales?
Pick one.
A) 12.50 %
B) 13.50 %
C) 14 %
D) 14.50 %

Sol.   Let C.P. = Rs. 100. Then, marked price = Rs. 150.   S.P. = 75% of Rs. 150 = Rs. 112.50.   ∴ Gain% = 12.50%.   12.50 %nswer 12.50 %
