Even after reducing the marked price of a T.V by Rs. 320, a shopkeeper makes a profit of 15%. If the cost price be Rs. 3200, what percentage of profit would he have made if he had sold the T.V at the marked price?


A) 10%

B) 20%

C) 25%

D) 16\( \Large\frac{2}{3}\)%

Correct Answer:
C) 25%

Description for Correct answer:

15% of 3200 = 480
MP = 3200 + 480 + 320 = 4000

P = 4000 - 3200 = 800

P% = \( \Large\frac{800}{3200}\times 100% = 25% \)
