Download Solution PDFConcept used:
CP/MP = (100 - Discount%) / (100 + Profit%)
Calculation:
According to the given concept,
CP/MP = (100 - 18)/(100 + 30) = 82/130 = 41/65
So, CP = 41 unit and MP = 65 unit
Now, he sells his goods at 12% discount, SP = 65 × 88/100 = 57.2
So profit% = (57.2 - 41)/41 × 100 = 39.51%
∴ The correct answer is 39.51%
