Hemanshi bought a T-shirt at a 20% discount on its marked price, but sold it at the marked price. What is the profit or loss percentage on the whole transaction?
A25% profit
B25% loss
C15% profit
D15% loss
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. 25% profit
1. Let marked price = 100; cost = 80 (after 20% discount), selling price = 100.
2. Profit = 100 − 80 = 20 on cost 80.
3. Profit % = 20/80 × 100 = 25% profit.
