The marked price of a windbreaker was $141. After a 25% discount, the shopkeeper still makes a $47 profit.
- What is the cost price of the windbreaker?
- What is the profit in percentage?
(a)
Percentage of the price of the windbreaker after 25% discount
= 100% - 25%
= 75%
Price of the windbreaker at 25% discount
= 75% x 141
=
75100 x 141
= $105.75
Cost price of the windbreaker
= 105.75 - 47
= $58.75
(b)
Profit in percentage
=
4758.75 x 100%
= 80%
Answer(s): (a) $58.75; (b) 80%
