Answer:
5%
Step-by-step explanation:
price after discount :
9 600 - 9 600×40%
= 5760
Original price (price without profit) :
let x be the original price of the device.
x + x × 20% = 5760
Then
x = (5 760×100)÷120
= 4 800
Original price increased by 30% :
4 800 + 4 800×30%
= 6 240
the discount needed to increase the profit by 10% :
[(9 600-6 240)÷9 600]×100
= 35%
Then
to increase the profit by 10% ,we have to reduce
the percent of discount to :
40% - 35%
= 5%
