The correct Answer is:
To find the net profit percentage of the shopkeeper, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Determine the Cost Price (CP) and Selling Price (SP) after Markup and Discount 1. Let the Cost Price (CP) of the goods be \(100\) (for simplicity). 2. The shopkeeper marks up his goods by \(20\%\). Therefore, the Marked Price (MP) is: \[ MP = CP + 20\% \text{ of } CP = 100 + 20 = 120 \]
