A shopkeeper marks his goods 20% above cost price, but allows 30% discount for cash payment. His net loss is ?

A. 8%
B. 10%
C. 16%
D. 20%

C. 16%

Assume the cost price =100

So
the marked price (20% more ) = 1.2×100
the marked price (20% more ) = 120

A discount of 30% on the same is = 0.30×120
A discount of 30% on the same is = 36

Actual SP = 120−36
Actual SP = 84

Loss = 100−84
Loss = 16
or
Loss = 16%(Since base is 100)
