Answer»

Since Akash PURCHASED a table marked at Rs. 600 at two successive discounts of 15% and 20%

∴ Cost PRICE of the table $(= 600 \times \frac{{100 - 15}}{{100}} \times \frac{{100 - 20}}{{100}} = 600 \times \frac{{85}}{{100}} \times \frac{{80}}{{100}} = {\rm{Rs}}.408)$

Since TRANSPORTATION cost is Rs. 28

∴ Total Cost price of the table = 408 + 28 = Rs. 436

∴ Profit = 545 – 436 = Rs. 109

∴ % Profit $(= \frac{{109}}{{436}} \times 100 = 25{\rm{\% }})$
