Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Solution: 1
Let CP of the doll is Rs 100
Then marked price = Rs 100 + 35 % of 100
= 100 + 35
= 135
Now we have SP after 15% discount = 135 – 15% of 135
= 135 – 15/100 × 135
= 135 – 20.25
= 114.75
Profit Percentage = SP-CP/CP × 100
= 114.75 – 100/100 × 100
= 14.75%
