A person buys a car marked at Rs. 300000 at successive discounts of 10% and 7.5%. If he sells the car at Rs. 254745, what is the profit or loss percent that he makes?
1). 2% profit
2). 2% loss
3). 5% loss
4). 5% profit
Marked Price of Car = Rs. 300000
After successive discounts of 10% and 7.5%,
Sell Price = Rs. 300000 × (0.9) × 0.925 = Rs. 249750
Cost price for the person = Rs. 249750
∴ Sell price for the person = Rs. 254745
Profit = Rs. (254745 - 249750) = Rs. 4995
$(\therefore {\rm{Profit\% }} = {\rm{}}\frac{{4995}}{{249750}} \times 100 = 2\% )$
