Profit Loss Discount
19. If 20 % discount is given on the decided price which is decided by addition of 20 % profit on the purchase price, then will there be profit or loss? What is the percentage?

Decided price is 20 % profit on the purchase price

Decided price = purchase price + profit = 100 + 20 = 120

20 % discount is given on the decided price

Discount = 20 % of decided price = 20 % of 120 = 20/100 × 120 = 24

The discount is Rs 24

S.P. = decided price - discount = 120 - 24 = 96

Loss = Purchase Price - Selling Price = 100 - 96 = 4

Hence there will be 4 % Loss in this case.
