Answer»

ORIGINAL price of shoes = RS. 2000

Profit of company = 12.5%

⇒ Price for dealer = 2000 + 12.5% of 2000 = 2000 + 1/8 × 2000 = 2000 + 250 = Rs. 2250

But, selling price of dealer = Rs. 2700

⇒ Profit earned by dealer = 2700 - 2250 = Rs. 450

∴ Profit PERCENTAGE of dealer = 450/2250 × 100 = 20%
