Question

Geeta sells A \(→\) 20% (Profit) and B \(→\) 10% (Loss) at the same sp. If she increases SP such that A and B still sold at an equal price and profit of 10% made on B, then profit made on A will be?

Answer 1

Step 1: Let CP \(= 100\). Marked price \(= 140\).
Step 2: SP \(= 140 \times (1-0.25) = 105\).
Step 3: Profit\% \(= 105 - 100 = 5\%\).

Quick Tip: Take CP as 100, apply markup then discount as multipliers to read profit directly.
